Hi Gerald
We tested this when I was in Sierra Leone and we were finding serious
problems with bandwidth getting the data back to Sierra Leone.
So you are going to have to think carefully about when and how often to
synch. Currently your database files are very small as you don't have much
data
Bob,
My Suggestion:
All local servers must be on 2.15 war file then we create a SFTP
account on cloud server then we can use filezilla from the local
server to download the backup from the cloud server.
I know it is crude but that help for now.
What is your take Bob.

I wouldn't do it that way. I think filezilla is a gui app. You need to
have something automated if you are to rely on the offsite backup.
If you want to use a gui now you could already use winscp on windows for
example or an ssh location in nautilus file browser on linux so no need for
sftp.
We’ve set it up for clients where we can script a DB moving automatically from
one server to another and it is automated entirely.
Typically we have scripts that will do a dump without analytics (e.g. pg_dump
-T analytics* -T completeness* dhis2 | /usr/bin/gzip -c
/tmp/dhis2.backup.gz), so
Hi Steffen
That makes sense and is pretty close to what I am suggesting as well. Do
you have any thoughts about taking incremental backups of the datavalues
tables? Even with the analytics and the like removed, some of these
databases start to get quite big.

Hi Gerald,
As Bob pointed out, filezilla is a GUI tool and it does not support scheduling
of downloads. Your local server should not have a GUI on it if it is a
production system. If your local host a Linux system? If so, you can create a
simple bash script on the localhost system that uses
Hi All,
I think there are two concerns being discussed here.
1) Making sure there is a reliable backup in case something goes wrong.
The first problem is pretty straight forward, one can create another instance
in another region, another provider or locally. Then schedule a regular backup

Dear Bob,
I want to setup a Test Server so that we can do test on the various
scenarios highlighted and see which one will work best for Sierra
Leone. Basically the Test Server, will be acting as our Central Server
for this test case. I will be sending you all the
Dear All,
Sierra Leone wants to finally migrate to an online server (External
server hosted outside the Ministry) but we will like to create a daily
backup of that server locally in case anything goes wrong.
My questions:
1. We need a help with a script that can create a sync between the
