Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2016 16:32 Post subject: Issues copying /etc to USB drive
I'm trying to setup USB storage on my router (Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H, DD-WRT v24-sp2 01/04/15) std (SVN revision 25760)) so that I can use a bit more storage and additional scripts.
So far so good until I get to the point where I try to copy /etc to the drive so that I'm not doing anything on the routers existing system. That way if I mess something up, I have a readonly copy to fall back on.

Is there any fixes? _________________ Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H: DD-WRT v3.0-r32170 std (06/01/17)

I was able to copy my entire /etc folder to a usb drive. The other way to copy it would be using WinSCP, then just drag the folder over. _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all.
