Upgrading without loosing settings and modules?

[BlackZero]

Hi guys. Is that possible? A way to backup modules + settings in the usb stick? Or we need to delete modules before upgrade and after upgrade to reinstall them?

Thanks in advance

I think its possible to keep your modules if you are on firmware 2.7.1. It shows an option to keep existing modules.

Yeah - as deathdealerxx said, it is but only on stable releases.

Ok thanks. I am now on 2.7.0. I think that I must manual install the new 2.7.4 and not to wait for the next stable version from the interface :)

to keep modules installed to /usb before you upgrade the firmware copy the ModuleLits file from /pineapple/infusions, then put it back after the upgrade the modules will be there (provided the usb is mounted with Fstab)

Thanks for the info. After the upgrade I must format again my usb stick or only to mkswap and to check if it's mounted on the pineapple? Thanks

You don't need to format again, you just have to update fstab config and reboot.
