Hi all, I’ve been running OpenHab on my Raspberry Pi2 for quite some time now, but had to re-image the SD-card a couple of times now due to card corruption. Now that my OpenHab / Home Automation is growing and I’m becoming more reliable on it, I’m looking for replacing the Raspberry for a more stab…

[image] Kim_Andersen: It´s the task, the linux structure itself, which make it complicated, specially for people not beeing Linux enthusiast. I’ve said it twice and I’ll say it again. THEN DON"T USE LINUX. No one is forcing you to use Linux of openHABian. If learning a few of the basics of Li…

[image] Kim_Andersen: Markus, I´m sorry you get angry from this, it wasn´t my intention. I´m not unwilling. I´m struggling. And while I´m struggling, I see others are as well. It tells me, this IS a complicated task to manage, where most non-linux enthusiast will be failing, or even avoid tryin…

I wonder if we could make a good backup by developing a Binding that does it? Just brainstorming here…maybe it’s unnecessary; what would running inside the OpenHAB instance matter? It would take advantage of the rules and events bus: It would monitor event bus to determine when config changes for…

Sigh. Seems you didn’t read the previous posts. There’s no point in having openHAB do the backup for various reasons, one of them being that for your smarthome to work you need to backup way more than just openHAB config. For openHAB config-only backup/restore, there’s the openhab-cli builtin scri…

[image] mstormi: Sigh . Seems you didn’t read the previous posts. I did. Including the part of you getting angry. I wasn’t implying you or core developers of OpenHAB need or should do it. I am very capable of writing code (already started binding dev) and I wasn’t trying to put this on your s…

[image] rlkoshak: It is not openHAB’s job nor is it openHABian’s job to “fix” Linux FWIW, that being said, there already IS a means to get along without Linux and mounting: you can choose Amanda to backup to AWS S3. It’s available as an openHABian option today. (although I feel to properly …

[image] mstormi: (although I feel to properly configure and debug S3 access is a lot more difficult than to mount a device Agreed. This is why I really didn’t address the AWS option. If the user can’t mount a USB drive of nfs share, properly setting up S3 is going to be outside the realm of t…

[image] mstormi: With ever-changing device names depending on what you have attached to USB, bootup order, processor, bus and HW combinations and many more factors (moon phase probably, too :-)), you cannot automate that without taking a large risk that you end up accessing the wrong device, and…

[image] Kim_Andersen: My intention and suggestions was not to automate disk handling. As you state, this is not a good idea. You might not be aware of this but your “suggestions” effectively mean to automate disk handling. Either you (= the user) read up on enough of UNIX to understand which …
