Besides many bugfixes and small enhancements, the biggest news in this release is the addition of backup and restore. The system is not identical and not actually fully compatible with Radio backups/restores, but it is quite similar. I do use the files.xml format, but the directory structure and the file contents are all XML and different from Radios XML. There are no plans on adding this compatibility, as it would make the - now quite simple - backup/restore facilities in PyDS more complicated. Another nice tool is the PasswordTool, a simple password storage. This is to enable you to upstream your backups without worrying over passwords (as those are never backed up!). Other stuff that's not backed up are RPC access parameters, passwords for the cloud and the user configuration. Of course, if you did some changes to PyDSCOnfig.py in your local installation, you will have to set that manually, as that isn't backed up, too. Only databases are backed up. Pictures meta data is backed up, but the pictures themselves are not. To get regular backups each night, you just set up a timer. To better specify when a timer should start, you can give a start time. |
