+ | * NVRAM is permanent storage, but is often tiny on routers. | ||

+ | * JFFS2 - This will save monitoring files to a portion of flash RAM formatted with the Journalling Flash File System, a log-structured file system. | ||
+ | * JFFS partitions are managed in the Administration/ | ||
+ | * Storage space available depends on router specifications and which build is installed. | ||
+ | * FreshTomato and any JFFS2 partitions share storage space on the same chip. | ||
+ | * The larger the build, the less space there will be for JFFS2 partitions. | ||
+ | * The upgrade process must rewrite the whole flash chip, and data on JFFS is destroyed. | ||
+ | * To avoid this, FreshTomato prevents you from allowing a firmware upgrade until JFFS is disabled. | ||
+ | * You must back up the data on your JFFS storage before a firmware upgrade. | ||

If you click your cursor into that field, you can edit the filename given to the log file. Remember to click Save and wait for the changes to take effect. | Here you can (re)name the backup bandwidth monitoring file, and back it up to a location you choose.
