Up until now, the Linux Photography book served as more or less official documentation for the Little Backup Box project. The original idea was to cover the most important aspects of installing and using Little Backup Box. Gradually, though, Little Backup Box has evolved from a couple of hacky shell scripts into a rather capable mobile backup software. And as such, it deserves its own proper documentation. So I’ve spent my Christmas break revising the existing content, adding new material, and putting everything together. The result of my endeavors is a neat little book called Little Backup Book.
The book is not free, as I’d like the Little Backup Box project to be self-funding. So all proceedings from the book sales will go into acquiring the necessary hardware and materials, 3D printing, etc. So by buying the book, you’ll not only get the latest documentation for Little Backup Box, but also support its future development.
Thanks Dimitri, it’s a very clearly written and helpfull book. Looks a nice and handy project! Unfortunately, I tried to install it from an other OS (Linux Mint) and followed the instructions in your Little Backup Book:
bash <(curl -sSL https://is.gd/littlebackupbox)
and also:
bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmpop/backup-box/main/install-backup-box.sh
but at the first I also get the 404 (mentioned by ) and at the second a timeout error…
Could you help me out? Thanks!
Thank you for your kind words and for buying the book! Yes, the https://is.gd/littlebackupbox is broken, and it’s not obsolete (I’ll update the book soon).
Unfortunately, the book is no longer available. I don’t have time and resources to maintain the Little Backup Box project, and I’ve handed it over to another developer.
I need to find time to make a proper announcement.
