Hi! Was wondering If this bash script is an acceptable method to back up the weewx database on the daily..
Here is my bash script to do so and I have a cron job that triggers It at 00:01 everyday... # Stop weewx sudo systemctl stop weewx # Define the date format for backup filename DATE=$(date +*"%Y%m%d_%H%M%S"*) # Backup database (assuming the database is at /var/lib/weewx/weewx.sdb; adjust if different) sudo zip* -r* *"/var/lib/weewx/weewxdb_$DATE.zip"* /var/lib/weewx/weewx.sdb # Introduce a short delay as a buffer (for example, 10 seconds). Adjust as needed. sleep 10 # Start weewx again sudo systemctl start weewx is this wrong or can It be improved? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
