2.28.3 patch
- Fixed: The initial setup of the tablet app is no longer blocked by a lock on SSH access.
- New: The tablet app writes a protocol file.
Version & Installation
SD Migrator is supplied as a Debian package for the Raspberry Pi 5. You receive the package together with your licence.
v2.29.3
You receive the package after your licence request.
Requirements
- Raspberry Pi 5 with Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit (Debian 13 "trixie")
- Internal NVMe or USB SSD as intermediate storage, additional USB SSDs for backups
- Power supply or power bank with USB-PD 5 V / 5 A
- Tablet, smartphone or computer with an up-to-date browser
Installation
- Prepare a Raspberry Pi 5 with Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit (Debian 13 “trixie”) – a Raspberry Pi 4 is not supported.
- Install the SD Migrator installation package via the package manager; updates are installed the same way, and your settings are kept.
- Recommended: disable the graphical desktop and configure the Pi to power off completely when it shuts down.
- Connect the tablet to the Pi’s Wi-Fi hotspot and open
https://10.42.0.1. - Install the Pi’s HTTPS certificate on the tablet once, or on Android devices install the supplied app.
- Initial setup: mount the storage devices under “Drives”, set the staging storage under “Back up cards” and enable notifications.
- For a stable power supply, use a power adapter or power bank with USB-PD 5 V / 5 A; when travelling, connect the camera and SSD via a powered USB hub.
For large video files, use drives formatted with ext4 or exFAT, as FAT32 only allows 4 GiB per file. Before using the system with irreplaceable footage for the first time, test it with real cameras, power failures and your own drives.
