Title: Moving HomeGenie from desktop to raspbery Pi3
Post by: jsferra1 on February 03, 2017, 08:51:14 PM

Can I just do a backup of my current system and then restore it on the new one running on a Pi3

I think yes, but maybe (I'm not shure) you will need to install additional packages if you used them.

Generally settings on any HG setup should be consistent so you should be able to backup on one system and restore on another.  That said, if there are any settings that are path dependent, you may have to adjust them.  I doubt it's an issue since you won't typically need to access files on the system, but if you do (log files for example), you will need to adjust them.

Windows:

Code: [Select]

c:/temp/example.txt
Linux:

Code: [Select]

/temp/example.txt
