I am having trouble understanding what you are trying to do. "backup" usually means to make copies of all files of importance on a given system, and to put those copies someplace else. I do this outside of weewx. Important files to back up are the weewx configuration files (which would be annoying to recreate) and especially the weewx database (which I can't recreate). I use bup, and store the bits on multiple other disks. My backup mechanism has really nothing to do with weewx other than that I am backing up files that weewx uses. One could use tar, or dump, or bup, or various other mechanisms, and then use ftp to store files. I would be using the command-line ftp client that I expect is part of the base OS, rather than something complicated. With weewx's ftpuploader, I would expect that to be used to transmit constructed web pages to someplace else (to a web server, usually). I don't see that being super useful for backup as I would expect you want to preserve weewx.sdb. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
