Hi Guys,… My system is a raspberry pi, with lastest s/w installed,
I’ve been running daily cron jobs to create database backups,.. for the past year or so,.. but for reasons beyond this discussion I noticed that one of the jobs was not running as expected.
So I ran the job in foreground and upon completion I noticed there was one warning,
INFO: These components couldn't be found to backup: /var/www/emoncms/settings.php
file… is this to be expected?? I saw in some old threads there was default file,.. but that no longer seems to exist, is this correct?, do I need the file,.. is there a copy somewhere on my system.
Also my uncompressed backup file is some 1.2Gigs and takes approx. 20mins to complete,.. is this normal for a system with approx. 3 and bit years worth of data??? is this manageable going forward,… I still have plenty of free space, as follows:- I think there is a 16G sd card,..( not sure its been so long since I looked at it,. and a 32gig usb pen drive for backups

One last question,.. during updates,.. how do I tell which branch I am running with,.. none of the 3 buttons stable, master, custom are hi-lighted, to indicate which branch is currently active,.. or am I missing something, besides the obvious.. 
Many Tx
