Hi together,
reading the following thread:
https://community.openhab.org/t/how-to-backup-openhab-suggest-discussion-docs-and-future-docs-for-backup-strategies-which-is-lacking/100182/2
I'd suggest we could add a feature in the OH3 UI to create and restore a backup.
For now, backing up openHAB (or exporting the current configuration) needs you
- to know how openhab-cli works
- and for a real backup you need to dig into amanda.
Both options might be to complex for people who are not experienced with cli.
Forthermore this solution would be OS independent.
So my suggestion would be a section in the UI (let's call it Backup & Restore Configuration) that
- let's you export the current configuration
- import a previously exported configuration.
This section should also tell what is to be exported and what not.
e.g. it does not export the ZWave controller settings or Grafana settings.
We also could think about making this extensible to add the possibility to directly create an Grafana or Zwave backup (if possible of course)
If such a request has already been filed or implemented into the OH3 UI, feel free to reject this here.
