Apparently
find . -type f -mtime -7

will list files that have changed over the last 7 days.

all 41092 of them.

Will have to do that after I install a plugin

Apparently
find . -mmin -10
works in Linux to find files changed over 10 minutes but not in Gargoyle.

So copying everything to a computer using WinSCP, then copying it all back, once router was in a usable state could work? Maybe after deleting everything first? What about changing the create backup file to backup all the root folders and subsequently all the files in them. Wouldn't restoring the b...

A much more clean suggestion, learn the build environment and customise your own build to have the plugins you want pre installed and the modifications pre-done as well. You could even have your network preconfigured etc etc. Love to be able to do that, no idea how to though. With the backup idea, ...

Thanks, will see how I go with that idea.

Thanks Is it possible to edit what ever script runs to to create the backup, to include stuff I have manually edited on the router? So when I have to do a restore because of a router crash, I don't have to hunt down the changes I have made, which are thankfully on the forum? One example of such a ch...
