Unfortunately the data are lost. At least the database of weewx because the sd is corrupted. I already tried on two pc and with an external card reader... I can't read the card. I have all the NOAA txt generated by weewx on my ftp account, but not the database. > Sounds like it's an sqlite database (default install) and I believe that > can be found in > /home/weewx/archive as weewx.sdb. > I can confirm that, I checked just now and the database is in that folder. > An sqlite database can be backed up by simply copying it. > > From a terminal > > sudo cp /home/weewx/archive/weewx.sdb copyofweewx.sdb > > (that will make a copy in the same directory as you are in, change as > required) > > The result can be checked with > > sudo echo 'pragma integrity_check;' | sqlite3 copyofweewx.sdb which should > return just 2 letters - ok > > If you don't get ok, just try copying it again.

I created a copy (in another folder, like - /home/wx_bk) and checked with sqlite3 (it wasn't installed, but I found how to install it). In the same way I can copy also the skin.conf and all the configuration files? It sounds good. The further step is to copy those files on an external ftp folder (on my website) or in a folder (protected by user and psw) on my home nas. It will be wonderful to do all those action weekly by a programmed action, maybe running it 2 minutes past midnight when weewx have already copyed all the files to the server and in all his folders. > Okay...

I don't know at all :') I don't speak english very well, but at least I usually understand almost everything. I will try to read and understand your guide, maybe I can figure out by myself.
