Domoticz

good evenig. actually i use the domoticz on my rpi2, i have some script LUA made with the built in domoticz and some script in BASH in another folder.
i want to create a script to save on an external ftp a full backup. in the wiki i can see the procedure to create the script, but i don't understand what folder i need to backup. What do you recommend ? a full SD backup or some single folder ? thanks a lot.

I only backup the complete domoticz folder to a versioned system with rsync.

How you can save in this way? ???what do you setting in domoticz? ????

I'm curious too....
I tried an FTP copy but there are a lot of locked files (the db for example )

rsync doesn't seem to have issues with that. Creates a folder in DESTINATION for each day the script has run.
Folder size is only the updated files as the rest are symlinks.

I do have an exclusion list wich hold this: 2 paths in it because I also backup a Domoticz Pi from a friend

I can confirm rsync is working.... nicely
or you can run a .sh ...
- stop domoticz.
- backup
- start domoticz.

No need to stop domoticz, backup is complete with rsync without stopping it.

isn't that dangerous with an open database?

I restored at least 10 times without issues. And IF one got corrupt I'l pick one from the day before

Merry christmas,
actually i take this action:
- disable the automatic backup from the web gui of domoticz
- create a bash script to backup every day at 13:00 "domoticz" folder
- create a bash script to backup every day at 13:30 "script" folder
- create a bash script to backup every day at 14:00 domoticz database
This script save to an ftp QNAP-GL01, the datastore of this is on 2 hard disk in raid 1 (mirror). The datastore of QNAP-GL01 is replicated on QNAP-GL02 by a process rsync every 12 hours. Someone can tell me if i need to save another folder from the RPI2 ???? thanks a lot.

Hi litfiba, (or anyone else who can help)

I was hoping you could help and give some further explination as to how to get your script working for me.

I am very new to this so sorry if its a dumb question. I am having trouble trying to automate the backup via FTP to my QNAP NAS.

This is what i get when i try to run the script

Thank you...

echo ------------------------------------ END  domoticz -- $(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") UTC+2 | tee -a $LOGFILE

Creates a folder in DESTINATION for each day the script has run.
Folder size is only the updated files as the rest are symlinks.

I do have an exclusion list wich hold this:

Code: Select all

var/domoticz.db-shm
var/domoticz.db-wal
var/domoticz.log
var/domoticz.pid
var/ozwcp.poll.XXXXXX.xml

pi/domoticz/domoticz.db-wal
pi/domoticz/domoticz.log
pi/domoticz/Config/OZW_Log.txt
pi/domoticz/Config/zwscene.xml

2 paths in it because I also backup a Domoticz Pi from a friend

I'v used your file,and all files are copied to Domoticz_Backup/Pi3_versions/domoticz/ on my nas
but i get this error(see below):

Can you point me what i'm doing wrong? :s

and this is my code:
btw, the LOGFILE, is this created by this script? or must it be there?

erm, with copying your files Egrerius, my domoticz isn't working anymore


domoticz offline: manifest fetch failed

these are some of the errors that are coming when i check developer mode:

The script isn't complete qs $NOW isn't defined.
The logfile is created automatically but the path must exist.
I'll check tomorrow for a complete script.

thanks mate

i meanwhile i got my original domoticz running again


i don't know what happened with copying your 'older' domoticz versions

Oh, that's why it went offline, not the backup script.
Don't know, maybe other platform or file permissions.
