home assistant backup 1

[alexandrecuer]

to make a backup, a simple way is to stop the container (or the addon), so you can backup the /data/emoncms folder on the host with the tool you want....then you restart the container....

But how to backup if the container is running ?
see https://github.com/home-assistant/addons/tree/master/mariadb
maybe this is a clue ?

more details on s6-rc -u change service_name and s6-rc -d change service_name on https://skarnet.org/software/s6-rc/faq.html

s6-rc -u change mariadb-lock runs a bundle service that actually launches these longrun services on the container :
