Domoticz

Hi everybody.
When I want to backup my database, domoticz create a file: backupdatabase.php
Why the file is not a .db extension?
I can't restore this file because domoticz wants a .db file
Any idea?

Go to the screen Setup - Setting - tab Backup/Restore
Now hoover with your mouse over the backup button. You will see this button uses the file: backupdatabase.php

Thanks for your response, but I don't understand what you mean with:
"hoover with your mouse over the backup button"
I saw a pop-up with myip/backupdatabase.php in the low-left corner
What do I have to do?
Sorry for my english...

to backup your database from the browser,
go to [setup] - [settings], select the backup/restore tab.
then click the backup button,and a file named <location>.db will be downloaded.
<location> is the name you entered at the [setup] - [settings] system tab

to restore, select the restore button, choose the file, press upload

clear?

Hi erem
Thanks for your response but I think I know how to backup/ restore.
What I dont understand Is why thé generated file is a . PHP extension ans not a .dB extension.

When you click that button then the database will be saved (backuped) in your download folder.

I still dont understand why the generated file is a . PHP extension and not a .dB extension

I tested this on Windows 10 with latest stable and latest Beta using the GUI backup button. In both cases the created backup was Domoticz.db
Any clues how to replicate your issue ?

Try to backup with the button on a different PC.
It might be that your current PC just saves a .php file with a click on that button.

Hi.
I solved my problem! (I still have others problems)
I needed to give total access to C:\Program Files (x86)\Domoticz
Thanks for your help!

I have a problem with the backup as well:
- As of feb also domoticz.db-shm and domoticz.db-wal are backuped up. In essence not a big problem, however In the hourly dir The domoticz.db-wal file has a size of 825M, which causes the growth of the directory tree. In the monthly tree the file is stil bigger (biggest i also bigger, but not 64m. In the monthly tree is has a normal size. The size of this file is weird, since in size of the file being backup up is only 11M.
- But the worst thing is: domoticz.db itself is not backupped anymore as of feb 8th. (in any directory). I am on the beta channel and do updates every now and then, so i probably did an upgrade to latest version that day.

For just disabled the auto backup (it doesn't work now), but i would really like this to work, so
- Does anyone have similar experience (or let me know if it works in your case)
- Does anyone know how to fix?

Here are all the details of my analysis:

Try:

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl stop domoticz.service
sqlite3 /home/pi/domoticz/domoticz.db "VACUUM;";
sudo systemctl start domoticz.service

Edit!
Not necessary, because I saw in the source that a VACUUM and Optimize is already done before the backup.

tx for your response. out of curiosity: Do you use automated backup? And if so … does it work for you?

I have a Synology 1517+ NAS and I do a lot of backups by scripting myself and run by cron. I don't use Domoticz internal backup.
1. Every 5 minutes is the Domoticz database of every Pi saved on the NAS for 3 days, 864 backups per Pi. Takes 16 Gb.
2. Every day I backup my domoticz directory to the NAS. Only takes 200 Mb.
3. Every 4 hours (for 4 weeks) I run system snapshot to an attached USB drive, which is daily copied to the NAS. Takes 4 Gb per Pi.
4. Every hour a Synology LUN snapshot is taken for 3 days, 8 weeks, 12 months ( My Pi's run from a LUN, see my sig.)

I sounds paranoia, but I have the space on the NAS (10 Tb in raid) and it saved me overtime a lot time/work.
