One is FTDI based, the other CH340 based. You want to use them both on the same Raspberry Pi to read two modbus instruments. The problem is sometimes the OS enumerates the adapters in opposite order. i.e. what was /dev/ttyUSB0 at last boot time is now /dev/ttyUSB1 and vice-versa. Adding… NOT saying implementing a backup solution is easy, just addressing the USB drive part of the problem as that info in and of itself might prove useful for other projects. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/automatic-backup/16243)._
