What do you backup?

[msaeger]

Considering updating software on a non voron machine I have klipper on. What do you backup incase of disaster? Do I need more than the printer.cfg?

I use GitWatch to automatically upload my printer_config folder to GitHub any time I make changes. Bit fiddly to set up, but once it's work, it's been set it and forget it

I have a macro that calls a bash script to upload the entire printer config directory. I'll have to look at that gitwatch, that sound like the best solution.

So the short answer is basically the content of the printer_config folder, or is it the entire printer config directory?
This is independent of whether you use gitwatch or not I suppose.
I am not planning on changing anything until I fully understand my new machine. I did not configure it as this was already done, so I am on a steep learning curve and want to know the safest way to manually back up and what to back up?

I use Klipper-Backup which is good when it works but it has broken on my twice so I might check out GITwatch.

Here is the Klipper-Backup https://github.com/Staubgeborener/klipper-backup

Oh nice. I'll have to look at that. I've got a simple setup from this guide.

Okay I didn't know Eric did a write up on this. I might go with this one so I can bug him when/if it fails.

I like the "DO NOT PANIC". Straight from hitchhikers guide
