Hekate: include device id (or other console unique string) in backup path

Created on 16 Jul 2018  路  2Comments  路  Source: CTCaer/hekate

The path on the microSD card that backups are saved to should contain a piece that is unique per-device, to avoid collisions when backing up eMMC from multiple consoles.

I was always thinking of that, but ended up dropping it every time, because the usual pattern is:

  • Backup
  • Copy files to PC
  • Rename folder to match console details + date

eMMC serial could be used for unique folder names.
2 directory names are the best options for this I believe:

  • Backup_XXXXXXXX/
  • Backup/XXXXXXXX/

I prefer the 2nd one, because it does not create many root folders.
