Seems to work fine. I think I've had it running for a year or more. I replaced the original 256 Mb Pi with a 512 Mb recently.<br>

Hey everyone,<br>
<br>
I have a Raspberry Pi that I was using as a backup solution for my stuff. Recently, the Pi somehow quit booting into OS.<br>
<br>
Literally, didn't realize my backups were not happening until I went to wipe the computer and double-checked the backup to see what my latest backups were before wiping the system :)<br>
<br>
I was using deja-dup to point to the Pi over the network using SSH to do my backups. Deja-dup just said it completed the job but never indicated it couldn't contact the host.<br>
<br>
So my question is how do I move forward in using this RPi as a backup solution but avoid a repeat of this 'near-miss' I just had.<br>
<br>
EXTRA INFO: I am using the same SD card just re-formatted, the card itself seemed fine but for some reason lost the boot partition from one of the config files.<br>
