Some of these sleep screens were really detailed but I decided to start out by making my own, rather than grabbing an already made image, and so chose to create it using my reMarkable2. One thing I kept noticing within the reMarkable’s user group on Facebook were all of the amazingly incredible custom sleep screens that people were using on their devices. Now that you have easy access to your reMarkable you can make other changes. It’s about midway down under the heading Making Backups if you’re interested.Ĭhange Out the Sleep or Suspend Screen Create the image. If you want more information about scp you can always check out Linuxize’s How to Use SCP Command to Securely Transfer Files.Īfter writing this post, but before publishing it, I came across how to backup your reMarkable on the reMarkableWiki. Here’s what the command looks like if I was running it from the home directory but still wanted the files saved in Desktop/temp. If you aren’t currently located in the directory you want to copy the files to that’s okay. I then used one command ( scp) to copy all of the files on my device over to my temp directory: I hadn’t taken any photos when I first backed up my device so I decided to create a temporary directory, or folder, called temp on my Desktop so I could show you how to do it.

I started to do this by navigating, on my computer, to where I wanted my reMarkable2’s files to be saved.

This way, worst case, if something tragic happens I can always stomp over the changes and revert the files in my reMarkable2’s software back to what they were. Once I gained access to my reMarkable2 I worried about potentially breaking something so I started out by backing up it’s files to my main computer. It even mentions, at the bottom, how to close your connection if your device goes to sleep and freezes the terminal. If you have any questions on how to connect to your device or how to simplify the process by using public keys (to forget the password) or shortcuts (to skip the username and IP address) feel free to check out my previous post here.
