back up

Time for a first back up now we have our basic settings configured.

For this, I use the Pi Copier script. Can be found on Ivan's page. Simply install this on your Mac, put the Raspberry SD card in a card reader attached to your Mac and follow the instructions.

Tip: make sure your screensaver or sleep settings from the Mac are more than 30 minutes. If not you could get a time out error, in which case you just have to restart the procedure.

Tip: once the back up is finished, I select the back up file on the Mac and press Cmd+i. In the box "Spotlight comments" above, I fill in all the programs or settings which I already installed.
