I want to piggy back on this.  Is it feasible to do the old dump/restore to a NFS mount on a Pi4?  I used to do this on FreeBSD and it worked really nicely -- even from a live system.

Thanks, Chris KQ6UP

You /always/ want to do a backup, even for an SSD, but SD cards can provide long life provided:

  * You get a good one. Not the one that came with the $59 IP camera

  * You use a UPS.



...and adding on - ALWAYS use a quality power supply when using a pi, as poor power is the quickest way to get a SD card to fail, 'especially' on a pi that is not a pi3 or pi4 model.   Check your syslogs for evidence of periodic low power as these things might be transient.  For example - I'm driving a pi3 attached to a 10" display that came with its own power supply that can feed the pi.  All it's doing is running a browser with an always on dashboard, but every time weewx runs its archive interval I get a low-power set of messages in syslog saying that even that is pushing the borderline power a little too far.  It's very repeatable.  The pi are 'very' sensitive to borderline power being provided...
