:!: This script will generate a similar backup archive file to the one we can download using luci web interface. So, you can use it for restoration as well.

:!: The only purpose of using this script is if you don't want specific files to be included in your backup archive file.

  • Create two directories mkdir /root/backup; mkdir /root/scripts.
  • Get all these three files to /root/scripts/.
  • Make the script executable chmod +x /root/scripts/backup.sh.
  • Run the script /root/scripts/backup.sh.
  • Backup file will be available at /root/backup/ along with a sha256 checksum file.

This file will be generated by script automatically using "sysupgrade --list-backup" command.
