Backup version identification

[rockyd]

Is it possible to identify what version firmware a backup file belongs to?

Unpack it and look at /etc/config/gargoyle.
In the globals section there is a version parameter.

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 change is the roll back of ipv6 blocking when Tor is enabled.

So these are changes to init files and maybe some web interface things?
I would modify /usr/lib/gargoyle/create_backup.sh
Line 21 can be appended to at the end to add your modifications.

Obviously be aware that if you’re moving to newer versions you might overwrite changes introduced by those versions, but if you’re restoring to the same then of course no problem.

You probably want to preserve the create_backup script itself as well once you have made the changes

Thanks, will see how I go with that idea.
