I’m trying to get OH3 under my control as a on professional. One of the issues is the following: I wanted to restore my mapdb persisted values after migration since they got lost after migration from OH2.5 to OH3. Unfortunately it did not work, so I gave up on this one.
However, that at least with OH3 I can restore persisted values in case of a crash or whatsoever, I wanted to make sure that with openhab-cli backup/restore I can restore my persisted values .So I backed up and tried to restore immediately thereafter. And the funny thing is that even that does not work. I get loads of error messages like this:
10:24:39.961 [ERROR] [rnal.common.AbstractInvocationHandler] - An error occurred while calling method ‘QueryablePersistenceService.query()’ on ‘org.openhab.persistence.mapdb.internal.MapDbPersistenceService@1602f62’: null

So, I’m quite helpless on this one too. Does anybody has an idea what is wrong here?
Latest observation: Since I tried to “test-restore” the system (see my first post), the mapdb service is broken. I tried to uninstall and reinstall it, I cannot get it work again . So, whenever I reboot the system all “persisted” values are lost… this is quite painful at the moment…
Thank you Wolfgang for the reply. regarding your points:
yes
no
backup with a script (openhab is running), restore via: openhabian config tool (I guess it will stop openhab service)
By the time I tried to restore with an older backup and mapdb is running again. Now, I don’t dare to do the experiment of backing up and restoring (as described at the beginning) to test if my persisted values get restored. I fear the hassle of getting the thing to work again too much in case it will be broken again. However, it does not leave me with the best feeling, since I don’t know if I really can restore persisted values in case of a crash
I checked the backup and restore script. I did not find any entry that stops openhab before taking a backup. In restore script there is a message that openhab needs to be taken donw before restoring.
I was brave today and tried my experiment of backing up and restoring again. Now it worked, the mapdb persisted values got restored. I guess I messed up something during my OH3 configuration, where I mistakenly thought It was an issue of the mapdb. Thank you in any case for your efforts, i highly appreciate it.
So, for me there is one issue left with OH3 (or more precisely with a binding), where I have no clue how to resolve it. It is the persistence on a mariaDB database on my synology with JDBC:
. So, whenever I reboot the system all “persisted” values are lost… this is quite painful at the moment…
