Hello all…just a quick question…i have a small plant monitored by a raspberry pi and the production data is stored on pi’s sd card…if the card gets corrupted or becomes unreafable do i lose all the data and start from scratch or the data is stored to the pvoutput.org site as well ?
Thank you
Hi if you can see it on PVO then its stored and for more storage and data please think about becoming a donator to this site Jim
The data would be lost locally on the rpi, but any data already sent to PVOutput would still be available.
You can remotely access a PI using SSH and / or SMB - whichever is configured in order to access and backup the data. Both options are OFF by default so someone would need to enable them if they are not already enabled.
Depending on the format of the data files you may need some third-party software to view the records. EG Text File vs SQLite database or something in between.
Depending on the size of the SD card and the amount of free space you could also run out of available space - that would be a bad thing.
In a networked environment it would be possible to automatically back the data up to another computer. It depends on how important the data are.
