You're experiencing issues with the backup system while running it in headless mode on a Raspberry Pi.

I don't have specific knowledge about it, but if you explain your issue, I might be able to assist you.

The issue with tinyCore is that it operates entirely from a RAM disk, which makes the distribution very compact. It's designed to back up /home and /opt during shutdowns to reduce disk access. (It was intended for use on flash drives, etc.). Personally, it didn't work as planned. I've decided to run backups manually before each shutdown, and that seems to be resolving the problem. Edit: @Sauron Sry, didn't mention you properly.

No, there were no files in the /tce directory.

So, if I understand correctly, the script works but it doesn't run automatically at shutdown. Can you show me the contents of /etc/rc6.d/ ?

Yes, the file rc6.d is not located in /etc.

Check if /etc/rc.shutdown exists and understand its role in triggering the backup script during shutdown. Ensure the system is closing properly, as incorrect methods could prevent the script from executing.
