Automatic Backup database to microSD card?

Fri May 02, 2014 8:55 pm

Hi guys,
I hope you're doing fine. I would like to know if there's a way to automatically backup the User Manager DataBase to a microSD card? I'm using a RB450G with a 1GB microSD card.

Thanks,

Yes, You can! Just setup the external disk under /store menu and define that you want user-manager database to go to the external disk. for ease of management and setup use the inbox interface to locate store.

Before you use SD card for backups perhaps you should read this post about microSD card compatibility

sure yes!
To automatically create backup of database he needs to setup some small script&scheduler. why not share what you have with him on how to do that?

I make backup by hand every week, inside the user-manager itself, and download the backup file on other server...

I do not trust automatic way...
