Backup and restore on a clean fresh installation

[Patricen]

Hello,
For some reason, I decided to burn a new SD card with a clean Raspbian installation on my rpi, reinstalled domoticz (the easy way), and this works like a charm, but without my previous data.
I updated domoticz to the same version as my previous system and I'm trying to get back my data, but...
As soon as I do replace domoticz.db, the system decides staying offline. Are there other files I need to copy to the new card so that it works?
I'm stuck.

Assuming you stop domoticz before replacing domoticz.db with the old copy, a first step in the problem investigation would be to start domoticz from the command line interface or with log active and share what you see.

That's pretty weird, it looks unstable

After a sudo service domoticz.sh restart it works, but that is not very convenient after a power loss

I think the better approach would be to use the backup/restore function of Domoticz (Settings) instead of copying the domoticz.db
