Do file systems affect functionality? about little-backup-box HOT 5 CLOSED

I am not familiar with Raspbian coding but is there any way to modify the code to look for the next mounted drive instead of the specific SDA assign? Then, as long as you mount the drives in order it should work every time no matter where they are assigned to?

LIttle Backup Box works with FAT32, exFAT, NTFS, and all popular Linux filesystems. OK, in case the USB stick is mounted as SDA1 and the SD card is mounted as SDC1, open the card-backup.sh script and edit the line:

CARD_DEV="sdb1" # Name of the storage card

as follows:

CARD_DEV="sdc1" # Name of the storage card

This should do the trick. Also, are you using Raspbian Lite or regular Raspbian with the Pixel desktop?

I am using raspbian with the pixel desktop. I meant that in one instance, the card mounts ad Sdc1, then the next try after rebooting and starting the process again, it mounts as SDD1, and it is inconsistent, is this to do with using the pixel desktop? Sorry to ask so many questions! !

Ah, that explains it! You should use Rasbian Lite. It comes without a desktop environment, and it mounts storage devices where Little Backup Box expects them. I need to update the README file to reflect that.
