SD Backup Confusion

I have recently established SD Backup using build in function

It seems to be working because checking the status of the timers i see when the last sync had place:

I decided to simulate a crash and one day i placed backed up SD card in the slot hoping the system starts up and will have no changes in the system configurations. 1:1 behaviour and setup.

Unfortunately the system did not boot at all :frowning: Now my questions.

  1. Is my expectation right? Both partitions were created and SD card shall boot after SD mirroring runs?
  2. If there is sth wrong during this process, how could I be notified. I blindly trusted SD mirroring works because during the installation process everything was fine. Since the backup is done regularly how can I be informed if sth goes wrong?

My set-up configuration:
OH4.2.3 on Raspberry Pi 4

I have reported simular issue Boot from backup SD-Card fails.
But did not get any reply.

Yes, booting from the secondary card should work, provided the installation process went fine.

That question doesn’t make much sense. If anything goes wrong during setup, you will be notified.
If installation succeeds, you get no notification other than ‘success’.
That, however, cannot guarantee that what you have set up will work as intended, and even more so not at all times. So what you have to do is validate things, which is what you did.

Reproduce the issue from the very beginning and make sure to take debug level logs of your journey (set debug level loggin and record your terminal output, essentially), as described in the debug guide. Open a Github issue and provide the logs, then maintainers can have a look.
Without logs to comprehensively show what you did at setup time, it’s pointless to make guesses why it doesn’t work.

Could you advise what logs exactly would be in your interests! How to set them up?
I will make the SD mirror setup on a new SD card and test it again.

I already referenced the debug guide, please read.
