<ul></ul><p>This has been done (history in <a class="issue tracker-3 status-33 priority-21 priority-default closed child" title="Issue: Installation instructions: Add a section about backuping the EFS (Rejected)" href="https://redmine.replicant.us/issues/1930">#1930</a>) for most of the devices.</p>
Only the following devices still need to be added:
<ul>
<li>Galaxy Note (N7000)</li>
<li>Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (P3100)</li>
<li>Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (P5100)</li>

<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>New</i> to <i>In Progress</i></li></ul> Replicant - Issue #1778: The installation pages lack advice to backup the EFS partitionhttps://redmine.replicant.us/issues/1778?journal_id=75962019-10-04T02:16:06ZKurtis HannaKurtis@riseup.net
<ul></ul><p>We now have two different wiki pages related to backing up the EFS partition:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/BackupTheEFS">https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/BackupTheEFS</a><br /><a class="external" href="https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/BackupsResearch">https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/BackupsResearch</a></p>
<p>The Research based page seems to contain information that says that the other page needs to be updated because the commands at the other page stopped working and the backup were corrupted. If this is the case, we should update the BackupTheEFS page or ask that people test out the new commands on the Research page so we can determine if such a change should be made.</p>
<p>Additionally, we should add information related to best practices related to restoring one's EFS partition and link to it on the BackupTheEFS page.</p> Replicant - Issue #1778: The installation pages lack advice to backup the EFS partitionhttps://redmine.replicant.us/issues/1778?journal_id=77092019-10-19T14:00:58ZDenis 'GNUtoo' CarikliGNUtoo@cyberdimension.org

<li>The <a class="wiki-page" href="https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/BackupTheEFS">BackupTheEFS</a> page is user instructions to backup the EFS.</li>
<li>The <a class="wiki-page" href="https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/BackupsResearch">BackupsResearch</a> is a documentation for the first page: It explains what worked and what didn't. Most users don't need that level of details, but people working on writing the user instructions do.</li>

<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>In Progress</i> to <i>Resolved</i></li></ul><p>The bug is fixed. The issue is <pre>adb shell "cat /path/to/partition" > partition.img</pre>, but <pre>cat /path/to/partition > partition</pre> is supposed to work.</p>
<p>To use adb pull directly on the partition we would need to validate that the '*' are working in such context.</p>
