Backup

The backup section allows you to download copies of your notes and all ADIF entries at the moment, this will be expanded to other features.

You can automate the ADIF backup and the Notes backup. To do it via CRON, you need to make a read-only API key, and provide it.

# Backup ADIF for all station locations related to API-key (and user), every day at midnight
0 0 * * * curl --silent https://<URL-To-Cloudlog>/index.php/backup/adif/<APIKEY> &>/dev/null

# Backup NOTES for user related to API-key, every day at midnight
0 0 * * * curl --silent https://<URL-To-Cloudlog>/index.php/backup/notes/<APIKEY> &>/dev/null

If you want to download the backups by a cronjob on a regular basis you can use the following shell script. It initiates the backup and downloads the file afterwards. Replace <API_KEY> and <CLOUDLOG_URL> with your appropriate values.

#!/bin/sh
API_KEY="<API_KEY>"
CLOUDLOG_URL="<CLOUDLOG_URL>"

ADIF_BACKUP_FILE=`wget -qO - $CLOUDLOG_URL/index.php/backup/adif/$API_KEY | grep "The backup of your log completed successfully" | sed -e "s#.*/backup/\(logbook_...._.._.._.._.._..\.adi\).*#\1#"`
echo "Downloading $ADIF_BACKUP_FILE."
wget -q $CLOUDLOG_URL/backup/$ADIF_BACKUP_FILE

NOTES_BACKUP_FILE=`wget -qO - $CLOUDLOG_URL/index.php/backup/notes/$API_KEY | grep "The backup of your notes completed successfully" | sed -e "s#.*/backup/\(notes_...._.._.._.._.._..\.xml\).*#\1#"`
echo "Downloading $NOTES_BACKUP_FILE."
wget -q $CLOUDLOG_URL/backup/$NOTES_BACKUP_FILE
exit 0
