RepRap Firmware make Backup

bfpa40

Is there a way to make a backup of all the system files (config.g, homeall.g, homex.g etc...) files that Reprap uses?

Yes. Go to System Editor in DWC and click the check box next to the Filename heading. This selects all files. Then un-check any directories. Then right click on any filename and select "Download as zip".

Ive tried to connect to it via ssh and i see its active but whats the username and password SSH is expecting?

dc42

Duet doesn't support SSH. It does support (insecure) Telnet if you enable it using M586, but that won't help you make a backup.

Gotcha, i used your earlier instructions and got what i needed. Thank You again!

It's also possible to enable FTP using M586 and use that to download files; however we've had some reports of FTP being unreliable. I'm not sure whether that is for uploading, downloading, or both. It's on my list to fix.

I have used admin as username and the password is the same as for DWC access, for my backup I do it from a Linux system and use wget.

wget --ftp-user=admin --ftp-password=PASS -r ftp://IPADDRESS/sys/

Did it for me.
