Automatic backup

Backup is done by the cron job /etc/cron.d/vaisala-radarsw-backup-cron that launches the /usr/vaisala/radarsw/backup/bin/do-backups script.

The created backup files are zipped and stored in the following directories:

  • /srv/vaisala/radarsw/backup/configuration
  • /srv/vaisala/radarsw/backup/database

Backups are kept for 180 days, after which they are deleted.

Each backup file includes a timestamp in the format:

radarsw-configuration-2024-09-05T06-48-26.tar.gz
