Automatic database save

[Ben]

I’ve upgraded to 2.8.0 in DE (still no changelog announcement ?) and I’ve tried to set-up the automatic database save.

I’ve added :

• in dtable_db_conf

[backup]
dtable_storage_server_url = http://127.0.0.1:6666
backup_interval = 1440
keep_backup_num = 3

• a new file called dtable-storage-server.conf
  [general]
  host = 127.0.0.1
  port = 6666
  log_dir = .
  temp_file_dir = ./tmp

[storage backend]
type = filesystem
path = /opt/seatable/db-backups

I’ve created this folder and chmod 777 it

But sadly, I don’t see any db save appearing after restarting and waiting few days.

What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks

I am not sure I understand your post. What are you trying to do? Is this in reference to the special upgrade notices for SeaTable 3.0?

[Ben]

Indeed, but these info are new.
There were mentions of these files in 2.8 but not much explanation .
I just want to have a working automated database save.

I just want to have a working automated database save.

I am still not sure what your objective is. Obviously, all changes in the database are saved automatically. So you cannot mean that.

Do you want to automatically create database dumps?

[Ben]

Yes , separate dump of database on another drive

[rdb]

This is not what this is for:

@Ben

[backup]
dtable_storage_server_url = http://127.0.0.1:6666
backup_interval = 1440
keep_backup_num = 3

• a new file called dtable-storage-server.conf
  [general]
  host = 127.0.0.1
  port = 6666
  log_dir = .
  temp_file_dir = ./tmp

[storage backend]
type = filesystem
path = /opt/seatable/db-backups

Please use standard Linux/database tools to dump your database.
