Domoticz

Hello experts,

I am using Domoticz V3.5731and want to run "backup" from the settings menu.
When I do that the system "locks up" from a Domoticz functionality, but the Raspi itself I still can logon and operate through putty.
but web interface stops also responding.
What can be the issue, or what log can i look at?

At one point i enabled "automatic backup" and this basically rendered my system useless. It took a lot of "fumbling around" to get in the settings menu and disable that again.

Could it be permissions on Raspi?
Do I need to configure the backup location somewhere?

Thanks,

Wim,

Have you checked the linux system log? I once had a faulty SD that caused lockups.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Checked all logs under Linux, and nothing indicates bad card.
I cloned the card to and also no errors during copy. (you got me worried there for a second, so a clone is always helpful)

Tried the "backup" again from the menu.
I ran "top" if i could see what is going on, and the "domoticz" process does quite nicely hog the CPU. It is not at a 100% constantly, but it nicely bounces between 40% and 85%. Web interface is dead, also remote client on android cannot connect anymore.

Can it be it is just a long and hard process and I am inpatient?
Started the backup process 20 minutes ago, no sign of change.

I am using Open zWave with Domoticz, perhaps that has some influence?

Thanks for your thoughts,

Wim,

All,

To complete the post
The issues is solved. The DB had turned 8GB in size, and on a slow MicroSD it took 1 hour to backup.

So with some help on this board I figured out the reason for this 8GB DB size, and will shrink it down to "normal size". Then Backup also should work.
Have installed a second Raspberry pi and added some devices for test, there backup works without any issue.
