Hi all,
it's possible to upload automatically the backup of the db of domoticz directly to Google Drive?
Exist a script that do it?

Many thanks.

I had seen this post but talk about uploading the backup via ftp. That's not what I need.

Sorry, you are talking about rclone, i will see this option.

It is very intuitive and quick to apply this script.
Just one thing: the script give me an error of "access denied" when i try to access to db, how did you overcome this problem?

[bigpea]

ok with sudo command work very fine!
Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I installed the script and it works out of the box when i use the command to upload the database however it doesn't work when i put it in crontab.

When i copy the line from crontab and execute it manually it works fine but crontab doesn't do anything. Could anyone help me to get it to work ?
My crontab looks like this :

0 1 * * * /home/pi/Dropbox-Uploader/dropbox_uploader.sh upload /home/pi/domoticz/domoticz.db domoticz/domoticz$(date +%d).db >/dev/null 2>&1

edit : Fixed it already

[bigpea]

How you fixed it? Was a problem if permission?

[ratjenl]

I don't know what it was, i just made an extra script which i put in crontab that executes this line. I really don't know why crontab won't execute it but now it works ok.

Ok i will try because in a raspberry it works fine and the same script in another raspberry doesn't work.

Hi,

there is specific behaviour of special characters in crontab, like $(date +%d). Look at this:

You can store output of "date" command to variable in beginning of crontab, or call another script, as mentioned by @ratjenl and do anything there
