Don't use tar, it's broken, use rsync:
Code: Select all
mkdir -p /media/pi/USB120DRV/pibackup
cd /media/pi/USB120DRV/pibackup/
sudo rsync -avz --delete --exclude /sys --exclude /tmp --exclude /proc --exclude /run --exclude /media/* / .
And if you want to create a single backup archive file (if tar is working):
Code: Select all
sudo tar cvzf ../pibackup.tar.gz .

We actually thought of selling this to the Soviets to set their computer science progress back 20 or more years.

Why are you still using tar instead of rsync?

perhaps that f***** small screen and that f***** command line and the f***** p'n'p which does not work between iceweasel and LX terminal

Use putty and ssh into your pi (but that might take a while to explain...[disclaimer: I use the command line as much as possible, even in windows, and I'm really hacked off they removed the unix stuff from the server OS])
Anyway:
Code: Select all
mkdir -p /media/pi/USB120DRV/pibackup
cd /media/pi/USB120DRV/pibackup/
sudo rsync -avz --delete --exclude /sys --exclude /tmp --exclude /proc --exclude /dev --exclude /run --exclude /media/* / .

All this has been posted from a windows laptop.
I'm sorry that you limit yourself, I can only help you if you want to help yourself, but you won't.

So how do you explain that more devices run a type of unix than any other OS (most smart TVs run it, most routers run it, every android device runs it, PS3 and PS4 run it, and even Apple devices run it).

well, I don't know anything about Apple except "High Walls and Holy Gardens". I don't like Apple and I don't play PS.
anyway, the backup Linux command simply don't work, I wish it would.
Inserting the drv into my Windows PC (after safe eject) it says the file system is corrupted and has to be recovered.

Worked fine on my PI, even the tar file.

not for me - so what is faulty or defective?
chkdsk /f is ok.

anyway, it's not your fault -
thanks for your input and your efforts, you really spent lot of time to help me, it's just because of the Linux crap at it's best...
how I love it.
(No, actually I despair.)
Thank you very much nevertheless, indeed.

Old-style clumped options with no leading hyphen, "cvzf", are only allowed as the first argument. You wanted "-cvzf".
More on topic, you will not be able to restore any rsync or tar backup without first reinstalling the OS. Therefore I see no reason to backup the OS. Just backup /home/pi and any other specific directories you need.
