Ultra-portable backups for Teenage Engineering's OP-Z
Ultra-portable backups for Teenage Engineering's OP-Z
Inspired by tacoe's OP1GO, this small script allows for full OP-Z backups while on the go using a Raspberry Pi Zero W. Simply plug your OP-Z into the Pi Zero and it will automatically create a timestamped full backup of your OP-Z including any projects, sample packs, bounces and configurations.
Quick Start:
Manual Setup:
If you wish to manually install it yourself, check out the instructions here.
You can access backups by plugging the SD card into a computer. You should see a disk called BOOT
. Within BOOT
all backups are saved to opzgo/backups/
as timestamped directories each time you trigger a backup.
Sometimes the OP-Z will fail to connect or mount. If after a long time (>5 minutes) you still don't see the series of LED patterns described above, do NOT assume the backup was successful. Try unplugging the power from the Pi, reboot and try again.
The script will only backup once per boot so if you want to backup again you will have to restart the process.
