Hi, John! Yes that is exactly what I'm trying to do as with your NAS, but with an external drive USB-connected to the RPi. It's mounted and I can write to it. I just haven't quite figured out (or found the resource yet) to update the appropriate weewx conf file to tell weewx to use the directory on the drive rather than the current (default ?) directory that is used.
Thanks!
