How to backup and restore everything Transmission?

Post by moeburn »

I'm running Transmission on my WNDR3700v2 router, which is running Gargoyle OpenWRT 1.5.10. I need to reflash Gargoyle onto the router, which means I'll need to reinstall transmission. Is there any way I can back up the current state of Transmission, not just the config, but also all the currently loaded torrents I'm seeding? Because otherwise I'd have to go and find every individual torrent file again, and re-add them to Transmission, and then let Transmission re-check every file again, which would take quite a while on the router's piddly 680mhz processor (or the hard drive's 25mB/s read speed, which ever is the bottleneck).

Thanks for that link! I think it means I need the /torrents folder and the /resume folder. I was going to back up everything anyway, I just wanted to make sure it was even possible to back up the current state of seeding, but it looks like it is! Yay!
