Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi !
I have frugal installed fossapup64 (with save-folder option) on 16GB USB drive.
Laptop is ASUS X55C, RAM 4GB.
On same machine, I have Lubuntu and Xenialpup64 in dual boot.
Booting fossa from USB works OK.

Issue--->>
I am trying to copy files (>3GB) from HDD to /home/bkps within fossapup on USB for backup.
But is says 'no space available....' after copying certain amount of data.
I guess, since it is loading entire thing on RAM and writing these big files on RAM, it may be running outta space.
Actually there is space available on USB (free space >12GB).

In this case how do I copy biggish data from HDD to USB using fossapup?

Thnaks.

@vin
It seems you are using PUPMODE 13 setup.
Don't copy directly to /home/bkps it will just copied to RAM, instead copy it to /initrd/pup_ro1/home/bkps or copy it to /mnt/home
Those paths were directed to your USB where the puppy savefile was stored

@mistfire thanks. It worked.
