In the past I had a crashed and lost some data, and I had to pair all my devices again.
That time I thought: It will happen never again! Use this Domoticz backup script to secure your config, adjust it a little bit to your own needs, and be safe! So Backup before it’s too late!

How does it work?
Every night I make a complete backup of the most important stuff on my raspberry to a temporary folder.
That temporary folder would be zipped and transferred to my NAS.
Backups on my NAS share older than 31 days would be deleted.
This way I have not only my database but also: styles, bash scripts, cronjobs and everything I need to build a new Domoticz config very fast.
How to install
First: make a share on a pc or NAS
Edit the script. delete unused paths and configs and add the things you want to include.
- Place the script
- ssh into your Raspberry Pi
- make a script folder:
-
1cd /domoticz/scripts/
-
1mkdir bash
-
1nano backup.sh
- Paste the script from below this page in that file (ctrl+c > right click on PuTTy) and save the script
- make backup.sh executable:
-
1sudo chmod +x backup.sh
-
- Schedule backup script
-
1crontab -e
- paste (and make sure you are using tabs instead of spaces.) :
-
11 0 * * * sudo sh /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/bash/backup.sh
- save the cronjob. this would run the backup.sh script the first minute of every day.
-
Test your backup
In SSH go to the folder and execute:
1 | sudo ./backup.sh |
Watch output, go to your share and validate the content of the zip.
An untested backup is no backup.
Recover and restore a backup
I hope you have never had to use it, but when you needed to restore it’s very simple.
Do a clean install with everything you used before, then place the file of the backup back to the raspberry, in the right folder path. Reboot and you are up and running in no time.

Further considerations on the backup script
As every backup, the backup script is only a good as its tested restore. Know what it does and what you need to do get things up and running. It is also good to have a spare SD card at hand, especially if you depend heavily on your Domoticz setup.
