I would like to backup my recordings to a USB harddrive.

Is this possible, and how do I transfer files to this drive.

thanks

donald

Run the standard backup script to capture the DB and configuration state, then copy the whole /myth directory tree over to the other drive. I use a script like this:

Note that /backup is the location where I've mounted the baqckup drive.

Also, find now has a built-in command to delete found files, use -delete at the end instead of -print (or both, if you want to keep a log of deleted stuff).

Is there a way to create off-line directories of the re-occuring recordings ?

I guess I did not mean backup.

I would like to move each recording to a seperate sub-directory on the USB disk.

Thanks

I bring up a terminal window and go to /myth/pretty you'll find your recordings. Then just <Tab> is your friend in getting the recorded name correctly. Then just delete (if you wish) the recording from the FE NOT the command line. (Of course this is assuming your USB device is mounted and all...)
