Persistence fails

[roberts]

Please do a man on the tar command. Specifcally the -T option and the -X option.
You can even use google, bing, duck duck go, yahoo. It is not rocket science. It is not unique to Tiny Core.

Hint.  -T uses /opt/.filetool.lst   -X uses /opt/.xfiletool.lst

Simple basic file managment. Static content should not be included in backup but should be a candidate for a personal extension or stored on other persistent store.

This procedure has been in public use for 8 years across two distributions and is covered in the Core Concepts document.

Persistent does not fail unless caused by user error in not understanding the basics involved.

Ok, I thought not having home in .filetool was "unsupported" when I read the sentence "That's your problem.". I'm happy to see this is not the case.
