Meteobridge PRO erased itself? **solved**

(1/2) > >>

zinca:
Been running my device for several years. Today I noticed that data had not been uploading to services, and when I went to my Meteobridge Pro via its LAN address it treated me like it was brand new! Had to re-accept the license/user agreement, and all configuration settings included weather station, services, time zone had all been wiped out. There were wizard messages telling me that I had to go to several pages and set configuration data and then apply. For better or worse I had a recently saved configuration file that I restored back to which saved some time and confusion. But was this intentional behavior? Has this happened to others or did I do something wrong that caused it to lose its memory? Any problems with using that stored configuration from September 2022 or has something changed? Seems like I remembered this happening at least once before but it has been a long time and I was newer to the device then so assumed I did it. This time I know I didn't do anything! Thank you for any help, explanation, or hints!

Gyvate:
it has happened to me once or twice - reason not reproducable.
Always good to have  a backup of the database and the configuration.  8-)
Meanwhile it's hasn't happened again since long ...
And after the license and configuration restore all continued normally.
The configuration file only contains your customized data - no nothing that can be wrong

docbee:
Latest releases take special care, that the configuration data is not lost when "pulling the plug" or alike while config data is still written back. Therefore, I expect this issue to not show up again.

twassmer:
Happened to me today. Unfortunately, I did not save the configuration as I did not reaD THIS BEFORE OR HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. aNY SUGGESTIONS?

any data center administrator will tell - no backup - no mercy
in IT (and every computer and smartphone is IT) you should ALWAYS make backups - of your data, of your operation system
data is not only the database but everything around - like the configuration of MB

If you didn't make a backup, even though the Administartion page has an extra entry for that, you have to bite the bullet

You will have to start again from scratch and enter all your data
- your station(s)
- the weather networks you are posting to
- the resolution of archived/stored data
- the events you have defined earlier
- your station (console) longitude, latitude, time zone, and altitude
- any calibration you have set
- any sensor matching you had done earlier
AND THEN SAVE THE CONFIGURATION TO YOUR PC (and keep a second copy in a different place)
