duetBackup Plugin

stuartofmt

This plugin provides periodic or instant backups of duet3d SBC files. Backups are made to a Github repository, thereby facilitating the ability to roll back to earlier file versions.

Instructions and plugins for V3.5 and V3.6 can be found here

Just released V1.4

It is available for both DWC3.5 and DWC3.6

Note that this plugin backs up its associated printer to Github (which retains versions). For backing up to a file system - take a look at

https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/10880/rfm-reprapfirmware-filemanager-duetbackup-successor

If there is sufficient interest - I can look at creating a non-plugin version that can backup a standalone printer (i.e. non SBC) from a remote computer.

Let me know.
