You can add this to the script before Done to enable the backup of the scripts folder

Code: Select all

   ### Backup Script Folder
   tar -zcvf /tmp/domoticz_scripts_$TIMESTAMP.tar.gz /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/
   ### Send to Network disk through FTP
   curl -s --disable-epsv -v -T"/tmp/domoticz_scripts_$TIMESTAMP.tar.gz" -u"$USERNAME:$PASSWORD" "ftp://$SERVER/$DESTDIR/"
   ### Remove temp backup file
   /bin/rm /tmp/domoticz_scripts_$TIMESTAMP.tar.gz

I followed all steps from the wiki but wen I am at the step for testing I get this message back:

Code: Select all

'!b.gzCan't open '/tmp/domoticz_20150313172005

Found out the temp folder isn't correct. Make a folder on the pi where the script can backup to. I just made a folder in /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/backup

Posted: **Saturday 23 May 2015 21:50**

i still get the same error i already make a new folder

the pi is creating the file but not upload it to the ftp server.

what i'm do i wrong.

Why not use a simple rsync in crontab?

Code: Select all

crontab -e

Code: Select all

# Version 15-12-2014:

3 * * * * rsync -r -t --delete /home/pi/domoticz /mnt/syno/Domoticz

This is keeping my system going for over a year now.
You have to mount the external drive ofcourse. in my case mounted to /mnt/syno

Hi guys,

I am trying to establish a connection with my Synology via SFTP to upload my backups. Via Filezilla, I can get a working connection, but via the script, I got the following output when executing my script via CLI. I'm certain that the problem lies with the authentication of fingerprint/keys, but I don't know how to put this in my script.

Line in script:

Code: Select all

curl -s --disable-epsv -v -T"/tmp/$BACKUPFILEGZ" -u"$USERNAME:$PASSWORD" "sftp://$SERVER/Domoticz/Backups/DB/"

CLI output:

Code: Select all

* About to connect() to 192.168.XX.XX port 22 (#0)
*   Trying 192.168.XX.XX...
* connected
* Connected to 192.168.XX.XX (192.168.XX.XX) port 22 (#0)

* SFTP 0x9a50a8 state change from SSH_S_STARTUP to SSH_HOSTKEY

* SFTP 0x9a50a8 state change from SSH_HOSTKEY to SSH_SESSION_FREE
* SFTP 0x9a50a8 state change from SSH_SESSION_FREE to SSH_STOP
* SSH DISCONNECT starts now
* SSH DISCONNECT is done
* Closing connection #0
* SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK

I hope that someone can help me out.

Just posting my script here, maybe someone can use it. It creates a backup of the database, the www folder (i have custom frontpage.html for my tablet in it) and the scripts folder.
It is based on locations on my NAS, and the backups are also stored on this same NAS.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
DOMO_IP="192.168.4.4"  # Domoticz IP 
DOMO_PORT="8084"        # Domoticz port 
### END OF USER CONFIGURABLE PARAMETERS
TIMESTAMP=`/bin/date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
BACKUPFILE="domoticzbackup_$TIMESTAMP.db" # backups will be named "domoticz_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.db.gz"
BACKUPFILEGZ="$BACKUPFILE".gz

#Create backup and make tar archives
/usr/bin/curl -s http://$DOMO_IP:$DOMO_PORT/backupdatabase.php > /volume1/dataschijf/Domoticz_backup/database/$BACKUPFILE
tar -zcvf /volume1/dataschijf/Domoticz_backup/scripts/domoticz_scripts_$TIMESTAMP.tar.gz /volume1/@appstore/domoticz/var/scripts/
tar -zcvf /volume1/dataschijf/Domoticz_backup/www/domoticz_wwwfolder_$TIMESTAMP.tar.gz /volume1/@appstore/domoticz/www/

#Delete backups older than 31 days
/usr/bin/find /volume1/dataschijf/Domoticz_backup/database/ -name '*.db' -mtime +31 -delete
/usr/bin/find /volume1/dataschijf/Domoticz_backup/scripts/ -name '*.tar.gz' -mtime +31 -delete
/usr/bin/find /volume1/dataschijf/Domoticz_backup/www/ -name '*.tar.gz' -mtime +31 -delete

The backup is just stored as a .db file, the two folders (www & script) are compressed in a .tar.gz file. I prefer .zip, but have not yet found out how to configure the 'tar' parameters.

I run it every evening at 23:55 by a cronjob:

Code: Select all

55      23      *       *       *       root    sh      /volume1/@appstore/domoticz/var/scripts/bash/domobackup.sh

Maybe you can use gzip/gzunzip instead.

Posted: **Sunday 26 July 2015 9:36**

Why do you want zip? A program like 7zip on Windows reads tar & zip/gzip etc.

Posted: **Sunday 26 July 2015 10:46**

True, but .zip is native supported on all operating systems, including Android. On my PC i have 7-zip indeed.
It is not that important, but i would prefer zip over tar.gz.

Thanks, I am using this script to backup the files to Onedrive via CloudSync (encrypted since one of the last updates).

This is what I still needed. Thanks!

I am running Domoticz on a RPi and I store the backups on my Synology. A little problem that I am having is that it is searching for this directory on my RPi, which obviously cannot be found because this dir is located on my NAS. For now I am running this command on my NAS, but I would like to implement this in the backup script that I use on my RPi.

Does anyone know how to easily do this?

Maybe a nice tip, for uploading doorbell snapshots to Dropbox i used this script a while: https://github.com/andreafabrizi/Dropbox-Uploader
I had it running on my Raspberry, which worked fine. On my Synology NAS it doesn't work because it needs a real 'Bash' shell, Synology only has 'ash' which won't work according to the author of the script. But i now use the 'Cloud Sync' package on my NAS

But it might be useful to upload backups (.tar.gz) to Dropbox.... Benefit is that you also have version history with Dropbox.
Downside is that you can't do the auto-removal of old backups with this script, it can only push files to Dropbox, it doesn't work like a directory like on your PC.

I still use my backup script url this post. Saved my life already a few times

Sorry, can't help you. I don't use FTP so i don't know how to modify it to reflect to your situation

With this script, I keep an error.
I have no idea just what goes wrong

If i run: sudo domoticz_backup.sh the error i get is:

Code: Select all

sudo: domoticz_backup.sh: command not found

The information what i used is the following:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
# LOCAL/FTP/SCP/MAIL PARAMETERS

### END OF USER CONFIGURABLE PARAMETERS

TIMESTAMP=`/bin/date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
BACKUPFILE="domoticz_$TIMESTAMP.db"
BACKUPFILEGZ="$BACKUPFILE".gz

Do does anyone know where it is likely to go wrong?
