Backup Domoticz

A beginner question.
I see a lot of scripts for backup the data.

My idea is to configure Domoticz and copy the sd card information to a second sd.

In case of a defective sd, I only need to replace the sd card.

Is this too simple and do I oversee something?

Peter.

Cloning the SD card is a good idea. But I would also make copys of the DB after adding scripts or doing other major additions. If you like to run the latest betas, ziping up the whole domoticz folder is also useful (goes for any update). So you can easily roll back if something does not work in your setup.

A copy of the sd card includes all data, I imagine the DB too.
In case of problems just use the copy sd card.

Or do I oversee something?

True but it's easy to copy your database and therefore the frequency will probably be much higher then cloning your sd.
You don't want to recover to a working system with very old data if there is an alternative.? (use the cloned sd and restore the recent database backup)
