Syntax error on Debian 11. about pi-safe HOT 4 CLOSED

Hello Curygorge98,
I am glad PiSafe has been working for you, and thanks for the feedback.
I think the issue is that PiSafe is a BASH script not a SHELL script. try 'bash' instead of 'sh'.
Also, you should usually run the latest published version named pisafe.
The install instructions shows two lines that download pisafe, then run it with the install command.
Let me know if that helps.

Hello Curygorge98,
I just confirmed with Debian 11, that if you run pisafe with sh instead of bash you will get the error you got.

Hi Richard,

Sorry, my mistake.

I am trying to backup a 64gb SDCard formatted GPT.

Will it work???

PiSafe 1.2.5
PiSafe 1.2.5 Backup...
No extension specified. Adding '.img.zip'
OUT-FILE='/media/cury/BPK1/Pisafe/2023-02-15-Rebrn-opi5-64g.img.zip'
58.2gb to read from '/dev/sdb'

Thanks,

from pi-safe.

64GB will work as long as you have space on your destination media (/media/cury/BPK1...). 1.5X should be plenty. It will be slow. If there is a lot of empty space on your 64GB card, you can use gparted to shrink the last partition. Then pisafe will skip that part which will speed things up a lot. Don't shrink all the way, leave some breathing room.
