This is a work in progress pull request for a Linux backup tool

It can backup any personalizations in the linux image. This is useful for developers and some regular users. A developer can have great use of SSH, and if you regenerated the ssh fingerprint or changed ssh settings, or pushed your ssh key, this can backup that. Some regular users may also use ssh to transfer files to their MiSTer. It can also be useful to backup and restore firmware files for your custom driver, if you needed to add a firmware to make your wifi driver work.

It is more or less finished, but some testing can be useful.

@sigboe sigboe force-pushed the backup_linux branch 2 times, most recently from e75a74c to 38a326f Compare May 31, 2020 19:13

There was a linux update, I used my tool to reapply my changes to the Linux image after the update. And I found a typo while doing that, but I updated this PR.

This tool should be fully functional now.
