Hi,

as we're in the wishes section, here's mine:

Would it make sense to have Meteohub doing a automatic backup to an attached USB-Disk/Stick? I've seen some others that have asked for something like that in the forum.

I know, the manual says 'take rsync and backup the data from the samba share', but doing a scheduled backup directly to a connected disk would be neat, wouldn't it? B)

Cheers,

Hi,

I still think an automated backup is a missing feature in meteohub.

I have a Fritz!box available, those devices bring NAS functionality. So it would be great if meteohub backs up it's data regularly to a drive that is attached to \\fritz.box\FRITZ.NAS . This could be done without the need of havin' a PC switched on to backup the meteohub data.

From meteohub point of view this could be a cron job created through meteohub web interface, right?

Cheers,

did you try the rsync based backup funtion of meteohub?
rsync allows to only copy differences instead of backing up GBs of data.

Hi,

Yes, I had a look at the rsync feature. Correct me if I missed something, but I understood, that for that backup I need to configure a PC to get the data I wanna backup up from meteohub.

What I am looking for is, that I can configure meteohub to push a backup of my data (if differential even better) to a network drive. This could then automatically create a - let's say daily or weekly - backup even if the my PC is switched off for a while (when I'm away on vacation). And in this scenario the backup would go onto a USB drive that is attached to my fritzbox and reachable through \\fritz.box\friz.nas\meteobackup in my local network... without havin my PC switched on: GreenIT

If a differential backup is a difficult thing to implement, I'd go for a backup like the one thats created in the meteohub maintenance page. So... regularly crete one of those and copy it to a share in local network. The top solution would then be an adjustable retention peroid to purge older backups.

Does this make sense? Or do I miss something obvious?

By now this is important stuff for me, because my whole meteohub installation blew up twice alreday due to a faulty memory card (yes, yes, the cheap ones... I learned this the hard way). Unfortunately my backup was not really 'fresh', so I lost data

Cheers,

It would be great to put a USB jump drive to Meteohub Sheevaplug and have automatic data logging there as back up
