Thanks for this reply ... I should have said that the USB drive I mentioned (/run/media/awood/7160-75C1 ) was previously a bootable USB and partitioned as such. This leads me to wonder if I can simply rename the volume (is that the correct term?) to the previous name and then use Duplicity? But what's the parameters for a restore on this USB with this name?Thanks for your help and assistance.AndrewDate: Wed, 6 May 2020 12:15:32 -0700 From: Samuel Sieb <samuel@xxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Restoring a USB back-up using Back-ups (Duplicity) on Fedora To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <a09052d2-9abc-a40d-82a5-8dc4670c2b31@xxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed On 5/6/20 11:38 AM, Andrew Wood wrote:
I had a USB flash drive which I backed using Back-ups (Duplicity) on Fedora 31. The USB volume was called /run/media/awood/7160-75C1 I then used the same USB flash drive to create a Fedora 32 Live Image on it. After this, the USB volume was called /run/media/awood/Fedora-WS-Live-32-1-6 How do I restore the contents of the USB flash drive so that it has the same contents as the /run/media/awood/7160-75C1 ??
You need to reformat it with the original filesystem id. Open a terminal and use "fdisk -l" to make sure you have the right device. I'm going to assume the drive is /dev/sdb and only has one partition. Make sure it's unmounted by running: umount /run/media/awood/Fedora-WS-Live-32-1-6 Don't click the eject button because that will also disconnect it from USB. Then run "sudo mkfs.fat -i 716075C1 /dev/sdb1". Replug the device and it should come up as before. ------------------------------
