How to copy File System files to external SD/USB ?


Hi folks.


I want to backup the file system from pandora to an external sd or usb, but i don't have permisions.


How it is posible ?


Thanks.

You could either do it as root from terminal or start the file manager as root.


I don't have my Pandora yet, so I'm not sure, but I think the file manager is Thunar, isn't it? Then you could try enter "sudo thunar" in terminal, press enter, then enter your pw, press enter again and then just use the window which should appear to copy the files.


To do it completly in a terminal you could use "rsync", just look for it's manpage somewhere on the net if you want to try it.
