Doesn't restore passwd and shadow file after backup

[apuboard]

I was trying to change my password for the user tc, I also made a backup with

Code: [Select]

filetool.sh -b and I added /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd to .filetool.lst. After I reboot, the new password is lost and there's the same passwd and shadow config like I had before. Do I need other files to backup or could it be a problem with the filetool?

Which version and architecture are you referring to?

[apuboard]

I'm using the kernel version: 3.16.6-tinycore or did you ask for the version of filetool?
However, if I run a dry backup the  two files are listed.

Hi apuboard
Bmarkus wants to know what do you get if you enter:

Code: [Select]

versionand is this for ARM, X86, x86_64.

So it turned out that I wasn't allowed to backup the shadow file, so I just wrote my hashes inside my passwd file. Not the best solution, but works for me.

You have not answered the questions asked.
You should have no problem backing up "etc/passwd" and etc/shadow".
Just make sure to omit the leading "/" on file names.
