[ale] Rasberry Pi Backup Rebuild

Hey everyone,

I have a Raspberry Pi that I was using as a backup solution for my stuff.
Recently, the Pi somehow quit booting into OS.

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

Jonathan
