Hi
I have a Meteobridge Pro Red
I have inserted a USB Stick into the front for backups
I have also set up a service as shown
- Backup.jpg (36 KiB) Viewed 2996 times
I get the following error

Any idea what might be wrong

USB stick needs to be partitioned with one FAT32 partition, as they come from manufacturer.
Backups only work, when you are using the internal USB as base storage media.
Not sure what you are trying to do on the linux command shell. External USB stick is just mounted for backup process and unmounted after that to allow for pulling out. As you see, this is all a bit more sophisticated as it looks from a standard linux user perspective

It needs to by partitioned with one partition (/dev/sda, /dev/sda1 in linux terms) and the partition (/dev/sda1) needs to be formatted as FAT32.
Please also try with the front USB port.

The content of the USB stick is not shared via SMB as the stick gets unmounted when backup is done.

For weather data backup to PC I recommend setting up a mySQL database or compatible database like MariaDB. Then the Meteobridge can send the data over the network to your PC. But the PC will need to be running 24/7. For this reason the PC should be something like a Raspberry Pi or a NAS or some other device that was designed to run well 24/7.
Here is a good write up to show you how to start:

I highly recommend you become familiarized with the way to manage data variables so that you can send data to your database in exactly the way you want:

Below is the mySQL query on my Meteobridge that I send to my MariaDB running on my Synology NAS. I have some customization to deal with a PM2.5 sensor that tends to sometimes catch me off guard when its battery charge runs out so I put in a condition so that I can continue to get all the other data. I'm sending the data in imperial units but you could make it all metric if you prefer:
Code: Select all
INSERT INTO `mystation` (`ID`, `DateTime`, `TempOutCur`, `HumOutCur`, `PressCur`, `DewCur`, `HeatIdxCur`, `WindChillCur`, `TempInCur`, `HumInCur`, `WindSpeedCur`, `WindAvgSpeedCur`, `WindDirCur`, `WindDirCurEng`, `WindGust10`, `WindDirAvg10`, `WindDirAvg10Eng`, `RainRateCur`, `RainDay`, `RainYest`, `RainMonth`, `RainYear`, `UV`, `Solar`, `PM2.5`) VALUES (NULL, '[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD] [hh]:[mm]:[ss]', '[th0temp-act=F]', '[th0hum-act]', '[thb0seapress-act=inHg.2]', '[th0dew-act=F]', '[th0heatindex-act=F]', '[wind0chill-act=F]', '[thb0temp-act=F]', '[thb0hum-act]', '[wind0wind-act=mph]', '[wind0avgwind-act=mph]', '[wind0dir-act]', '[wind0dir-act=endir]', '[wind0wind-max10=mph]', '[wind0dir-avg10]', '[wind0dir-avg10=endir]', '[rain0rate-act=in.2]', '[rain0total-daysum=in.2]', '[rain0total-ydaysum=in.2]', '[rain0total-monthsum=in.2]', '[rain0total-yearsum=in.2]', '[uv0index-act]', '[sol0rad-act]', CASE '#if#{*[air0pm-age:999]<300*}#then#GOOD#else#BAD#fi#' WHEN 'GOOD' THEN '[air0pm-max5=.0]' ELSE NULL END)
