Lost device errors

Hi,

I am testing the Little Backup Box script , however I am getting errors when running the backup (Source to External). And then it try’s again to backup, which fails.

Using a USB drive as external (for the test) and a SD card as source (via a USB card reader).

The log file says:

22:28:47
No abnormal conditions have been detected

22:28:47
Lost device '--uuid 6688-3CA7': DEVICE LOST

Hello,

It’s better to file an issue at GitHub.

Kind regards,

I will first try it with a different card reader. Testing it now with a usb stick to usb stick , and that works like a charm :slight_smile:
