What Should I Back Up

Post by geoffp »

I am now installing a U.P.S to the Server that I am running Cumulus on, in the event of a power outage (very rare in this area of the country) the U.P.S will tell the pc to do a back up, the question that I would like someone to answer if possible is what Cumulus files should I set to back up.
There is only webcam programs and Cumulus on this server nothing else

Thanks in advance :clap:
Regards,

Geoff

You may as well back up the entire Cumulus installation folder and its subfolders.

I would backup the full Cumulus folder -- it's tiny

If you need to be more specific

cumulus.ini
strings.ini (if exists/customised)
data\
web\ (but only needed if you have customised any files in there)
