Currently I use the weewx rsync extension ( https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Using-the-RSYNC-skin-as-a-backup-solution) to copy my weewx.sdb to a Synology NAS every night at midnight (in between archive writes). I then use Synology's "Backup and Restore" facility to copy from that NAS to another NAS on my network (yes, I have several Synology NAS's). "Backup and Restore" keeps up to 30 snapshots. So, I have the most recent 30 days of weewx.sdb. Since my Davis data logger keeps about a week's data, I have that much time to notice any corruption and recover with no data loss.
Once you use the rsync skin to get a copy of weewx.sdb off your weewx machine, you can use any strategy you like to ensure access to a good version if disaster strikes. I know that Dave Harper has a pretty sophisticated setup that checks for database integrity prior to backing it up. See https://groups.google.com/d/msg/weewx-user/K7aViEOIimg/dnoz1_25CAAJ. I may look to incorporate some of his work to my scheme. phil On Wednesday, January 23, 2019 at 1:31:20 AM UTC-5, Scott Grayban wrote: > > How is everyone doing backups for weewx.sdb ? > > I thought about doing a aws backup using a fuse setup. > > Are there easier ways to do this ? > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
