Device:

Create FSTab rules

Generate fstab lines in python for each /dev/ /mnt/ point.

Alternative Backup Solution to Rsync

Basically, rebuild functionality of Rsync, however the function will allow a percentage display on the backups files. This will allow for multicore copying. Differential backup will have to be supported to prevent duplicates - checksum.

Issue with checksum - cpu intensive

Major Benefit, more information can be displayed to the user.

UDEV Rules

Need to create two udev rules for the python script monitoring both USB 3.0 ports.

Enhancement: Check available backup space and source write requirements

If there isn't enough space for the backup, return and present a menu option saying more space is needed before writing.

Feature: Display battery life

Display battery life at the main menu or have a battery life menu option.

Warn user at main menu before any transfer is selected battery is too low to securely transfer data.

configure bootloader to turn off display when power is off

the issue is the gpu stays warm while every thing else is on. There is still power being supplied to the pi even on a sudo shutdown.

When files are copying, a percentage should appear with the amount completed
