This was on of my main concerns when I first moved my WeeWX station to a Raspberry Pi, so I have added a nightly backup to AWS S3 for the database and as S3 now has versioning that will be my next addition so I have more than one backup .
I haven't gotten around to writing this up yet, but it has been working uninterrupted for 213 days. If you want to know how I did it just reach out, the process is very similar to my solution for publishing to S3 which I have just finished writing up this week On Friday, January 1, 2021 at 8:35:37 PM UTC lang....@googlemail.com wrote: > @ (not only) weatherlist > > If you had copied the list completely, .... 😉 > > See below - bold by me. > > (but possibly a SSD comes cheaper than the higher capacity SLC micro SD > cards - still may need an enclosure with USB (best 3) interface; not too > expensive either) > > ..... > > Meteobridge enforces the use of one of the following industrial SLC cards: > > ...... > > - Western Digital/SanDisk SDSDQED-00*8G*-XI, SDSDQED-0*16G*-XI, > SDSDQED-0*32G*-XI, SDSDQED-064G-XI (microSD Card, 8-*64* GB, SLC > Flash) > - Greenliant GLS93MP008G1-I-BZ801 (microSD Card, *8 GB*, SLC Flash) > > On 01.01.2021 20:44, Michael Form wrote: > > As someone has previously suggested, you can boot and run a Raspberry Pi > off of a SSD.
