Very likely a backup process issue, although the steps you mentioned looked good to me. We'd need to see some actual logs or terminal errors to know for certain what you're actually seeing. I guess what I'd do is: - grab a recent backup, copy it to a scratch directory - uncompress it to a .sdb file - run 'file' against the .sdb file - If it shows up as a sqlite3 db, then you can validate it with the sqlite3 utility. Good output looks like.... # file weewx.sdb weewx.sdb: SQLite 3.x database, last written using SQLite version 3026000 # echo "pragma integrity_check" | sqlite3 weewx.sdb ok -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
