Backup of data in case of problems

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Backup of data in case of problems

Post by canlab@sasktel.net »

I am using a GW1000 gateway. I am currently setting up another computer in case I ever have problems such as a system crash. I have copied the cumulus folder over to that computer but noticed that my rain data disappeared. I want to set up a backup so that I can quickly transition if need be and ensure my data is stored. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I Simply Run this once a day....

Code: Select all

Robocopy C:\CumulusMX C:\CmxBackup *.* /s
Robocopy C:\CumulusMX \\phils-i7\Xternal\Backups\CmxBackup *.* /s
It does mean I get a lot of files in the MXDiags directory...

Plans to improve it, but it gives me security for now.
