That's the key for new pi users. The pi is just like any other computer. If there's data you care about, you need to save that someplace else periodically. There have been 'many' discussions here on how to minimize card writes on the pi to help make the card corruption risk lower, as well as to do periodic backups and how to check your backup is indeed restorable. Do some searching in the list archives for those long detailed discussions and instructions. I'm a bit surprised to hear a pi3 corrupted a SD card. I've seen that a lot on model-B in years past but not for several years myself here. I've never corrupted a card on a pi3 or pi3+ or pi4. My recollection is you can host the database elsewhere if you switch off sqlite3 to mysql but that ups the ante quite a bit in terms of compexity for most folks. Personally I just do a backup every week or so via scp to another system, and rely on the Davis logger to store its 8 days or so of records for the interim if the system crashed mid-week, hypothetically. Again, the list archives have lots of great info in them. Do some searching. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
