Backup-Restore files from the sugar-journal with a 2nd USB-stick
- This works from a Live CD:
- Download: backup-5.xo
- Download: restore-4.xo
Backup stores the content of the Sugar Journal (or rather the Sugar data store) as multi-entry Journal entry bundles (JEBs) on external storage media. The Restore activity can be used to write back the content of these bundles. Supports any data store from 0.84 on, including those with version support.
