- violetsy 4y agoIt's possible to keep just a bootloader on the SD card, and have everything else on USB storage, so if the SD fails the data is safe and you just need to set up the bootloader again.
- joeblubaugh 4y agoYes, that’s true. What I was suggesting: * put the OS on the sd card. * Put all the data on an external drive that is more reliable. * Take a snapshot image of the sd card when setup is complete. If your sd card is ever corrupted you can use the image to restore the server.
- Manu40 4y agoOh, okay. Thanks.
