Insitu_update From 7.01 to 8.0 went well. Been doing the Insitu_update since 6.0 I’m on a RP3B. Did the Insitu_update do a 32 bit install? And if so, is the only way to get to a 64bit with a full install? Thanks for the great work. Tony  SBTouch ♪ SBRadio ♬

copy2fs is not of much use. It was initially added as an answer to the "supposedly" corrupt SD cards problem. But that problem didn't really occur on piCore, so it hasn't been implemented. You could completely run pCP in RAM, unmount /dev/mmcblk0p1 and do full backups of the unmounted partition
