backup ffp for a new install on a new drive

So my Volume 1 drive is failing, and I am backing up the data while I can.  My question is, I would like to backup ffp0.5 (all the custom configs, startup scripts, etc) but I'm not sure which folders I would need.  Can anyone tell me if there are specific folders I should just copy so that I can just paste onto the new drive once I get it ffp installed?

I have some .sh in /ffp/start/ and /ffp/var/scripts/, but I'm not sure if there is anything else I would typically need that would be customized.

Any help would be great, I'm just not sure the default locations for things in ffp (linux for that matter).

Thanks,

Re: backup ffp for a new install on a new drive

Backup the whole thing if you have space then just drop it in later. If not, noone can tell you what you have modified. In addition to ffp/start it is likely you have customized ffp/etc but without knowing the packages etc it is impossible for anyone to know other than you. You could search by date.

If you are running transmission, then you want settings.json.

Re: backup ffp for a new install on a new drive

It's more of a question what changes have you done since you installed ffp and what additional packages you've used.
For example, Transmission keeps it's files in a hidden folder here: /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon
I'm pretty sure (but doesn't know it for a fact) that every ffp-related file is located in the ffp folder (ffp 0.5 puts stuff under /mnt/HD_a2/ffp by default).
When you back things up, don't forget to maintain file attributes as well (permissions, file ownerships) using "cp -a" or the something similar if you're doing using rsync.

Thanks guys, I'll just cp -a the whole /mnt/HD_a2/ffp folder to be safe. 

Thanks again
