How to clone Orin NX 8GB APP partition to host PC

Hello,
I’m using Orin NX 8GB with JetPack 5.1.1. I’d like to clone the APP partition to my PC.
i have tried with JetPack 6.1 tools with the following command:
sudo ./tools/backup_restore/l4t_backup_restore.sh -e nvme0n1 -b jetson-orin-nano-devkit
and also with JetPack 5.1.1, modifiying the source code to replace mmcblk0 by nvme0n1, with the following command:
sudo ./tools/backup_restore/l4t_backup_restore.sh -b jetson-orin-nano-devkit
I am using jetson-orin-nano-devkit board as my specific board is not listed and i have read that jetson-orin-nano-devkit is the “compatible” one.

The “replace code” idea is taken from here:

My problem is that the process starts correctly but when it reaches a certain point it freezes:
Write checkpoint 5530000 for first example (JetPack 6.1 tools vs JetPack 5.1.1 board) and Write checkpoint 5510000 for second example ( Jetpack 5.1.1 tools vs JetPack 5.1.1 board. Its always the same point if i retry.

My host storage is not full, not even close.

Any hint of what is happening?

Regards!

Hi

Could you attach a whole backup process log for us to review.
Some examples:

 sudo ./tools/backup_restore/l4t_backup_restore.sh -e nvme0n1 -b jetson-orin-nano-devkit | tee record_JP6.txt
 sudo ./tools/backup_restore/l4t_backup_restore.sh -b jetson-orin-nano-devkit | tee record_JP5.txt

Thanks

record_JP5.txt (110.3 KB)
record_JP6.txt (122.1 KB)

Here are both ( i have added manually the “tar: Write checkpoint” at the end of the file, because those are standard output i guess and therefully not added to the file)

Hi,

It take some times to review. We will notify you once the review is complete.

Thank you!
just to add some more info, i have tried with a board that seems to be the one that i have:
sudo ./tools/backup_restore/l4t_backup_restore.sh -e nvme0n1 -b p3768-0000-p3767-0000-a0-nvme | tee record_JP6_changeboards.txt

and the result is the same, stopping at the same point (tar: Write checkpoint 5530000)
record_JP6_changeboards.txt (105.9 KB)

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue anymore.
Hence, we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one.
Thanks

Is this still an issue to support? Any result can be shared?
