From time to time it is needed to resort and regroup entries in the GUI to keep things logically grouped. I found that database operations have been spread over various tabs over time so I sorted that and also moved some other things around for a more logical grouping, hopefully.
As the GUI items are also connected with some javascript and backend functions I cannot rule out that I incidentally broke some functions. Please report in this thread, if bugs around this occur.
Hallo,
nachdem ich auf 5.6 aktualisiert Funktioniert in WsWin
die Windgrafik nicht mehr vernünftig dann habe ich
wieder auf 5.4 umgestellt.
Siehe Anhang 7:00-16:00 Uhr

Mit Fehlermeldungen wie "funktioniert nicht mehr vernünftig" in Verbindung mit einem wirren Bild kann niemand etwas anfangen. Wenn Du Dir nicht die Mühe machst, dem Problem zunächst auf Deinem System nachzugehen(Log Files, Datenbank Inspektion, etc) wirst Du keine Hilfe bekommen.
There now appears an issue between System Tab Administration>System> Storage and Database>Maintenance with at least the most recent release build 14972 Apr 30, 2023 upgrading from build 14962 Apr 23, 2023 in regard the modified GUI but is something I don't recall seeing in the April 23 update but could have occurred and I just missed it.
Setip/config was (at least before the April 23 GUI release) was a MBPro (red) with a ATP internal USB and a USB drive connected to the front panel for backup purposes. This has been working for quite some time and did contain multiple backups which were triggered from the old System Tab GUI version.
When updated to April 30 version today I noticed the Storage (System>System) showed the USB thumbnail drive on the front panel. Database Tab>Maintenance>Restore Database from now lists none of the previous backup files?
Unplugged front USB and after several reboots could see some consistency between internal/external drives when rebooting with the front USB installed and not installed. When front drive is installed system wants to list this in the System>System>Storage, remove front drive, reboot and internal drive is listed as expected.
Insert thumb drive to front panel and [Backup now] on Database tab fails with "no target media found", changing Database media to USB stick on front panel and rebooting as per the pop up notice displays the front USB as System>Storage
Backup is not recognizing thumb drive in front panel to create backups and unable to see the backups that should exist on the front drive?

With latest version 5.6 (May 8, build 14977) have now tested USB (re-formatted) in both front and rear ports with same result: no target media found
This is a MBPro (Red)
Tried with most recent version and manual backup went fine and created backup is also offered as restore option.
Looks fine to me, or do I miss something?

Target USB stick must have a partition and it needs to be FAT32. When the USB stick is used to hold the primary Meteobridge database it will have no partition and the filesystem is directly punched onto the raw device. I guess that is the problem here.
Example: Device with partition shows up as "/dev/sda" and "/dev/sda1" on linux, while without a partition just "/dev/sda" is there and Meteobridge will not use this for backups.
Have now used a brand new USB out of the box and backups are now being written (again) to USB on front panel.
Where this might have went astray was with the update following this "Slight GUI design" and the change to the Database>Adminsitration tab. Prior to this the backup on the System>Administration?Maintenance was working fine to the front panel USB.
Following this update I can recall when the update rebooted the Database>Administration>Maintenance>Database Media: became somehow (in the process) set to USB stick on front panel which meant the Database had been installed/overwritten on the USB in the front panel. The front USB stick was in the front panel when the update was triggered. The Database media option was changed back to "internal USB storage" and unit rebooted so fairly much back to normal apart from the backup failing even after the USB was reformatted to Fat32. This morning I did a full Fat32 format as opposed to a Quick format but still failed to be recognized.
The USB stick not working for backups anymore will need to be partitioned with one data partition and after that the newly created partition needs to be formatted FAT32. As Meteobridge removed the partitions form the stick and directly formatted the stick, doing a reformat will not add the needed partition table and partition.
