Related to configurations file backup

[zk637]

I want to back up a copy of the configuration file via hard link, but there are more files than "Options: Backup" in the path to "My Fort Friewall: Statistics"

I don't know if implementing "Options: Backup" requires hard links to those files?

Additional information, "My Fort Friewall: Statistics" The path to Statistics does not contain "FortFirewall.user.ini"

"Options: Backup Exported file" :

[tnodir]

Options: "Backup" copies only settings files.

Do you want to also copy statistics files?

Ok,Thanks. Do you plan to develop it as a feature? I mean version 3.12.10 statistics files can't be backed up in real time by hard link alone?

Do you plan to develop it as a feature?

Yes, later.

I mean version 3.12.10 statistics files can't be backed up in real time by hard link alone?

You can backup by using sqlite3.exe:

• download sqlite-tools-win-x64-XXX.zip from https://sqlite.org/download.html
• run "[PATH-TO-SQLITE]\sqlite3.exe" "[PATH-TO-PROFILE]\FortFirewall.stat" ".backup [PATH-TO-BACKUP]\FortFirewall.stat"

Well, I want it to be optional when exporting ,This is Netlimiter's statistic, and it's Frighteningly big

I want it to be optional when exporting

Then it's better to export/import from Statistics window. Renamed the #253.

"My Fort Friewall: Statistics" The path to Statistics does not contain "FortFirewall.user.ini"

"FortFirewall.user.ini" is from "C:\Users\[USER-NAME]\AppData\Local\Fort Firewall".

"Options: Backup Exported file" :

Options: "Backup" copies only settings files.选项：“备份”仅复制设置文件。

Do you want to also copy statistics files?您还想复制统计文件吗？

Ok, created #253 好的，已创建 #253

Do you plan to develop it as a feature?您打算将其开发为一项功能吗？

Yes, later. 是的，稍后。

I mean version 3.12.10 statistics files can't be backed up in real time by hard link alone?我的意思是3.12.10版本统计文件不能单独通过硬链接实时备份？

You can backup by using sqlite3.exe:您可以使用 sqlite3.exe 进行备份：

• download sqlite-tools-win-x64-XXX.zip from https://sqlite.org/download.html从 https://sqlite.org/download.html 下载 sqlite-tools-win-x64-XXX.zip
• run "[PATH-TO-SQLITE]\sqlite3.exe" "[PATH-TO-PROFILE]\FortFirewall.stat" ".backup [PATH-TO-BACKUP]\FortFirewall.stat" 运行 "[PATH-TO-SQLITE]\sqlite3.exe" "[PATH-TO-PROFILE]\FortFirewall.stat" ".backup [PATH-TO-BACKUP]\FortFirewall.stat"

I want it to be optional when exporting我希望导出时它是可选的

Then it's better to export/import from Statistics window. Renamed the #253.那么最好从统计窗口导出/导入。重命名了 #253 。

"My Fort Friewall: Statistics" The path to Statistics does not contain "FortFirewall.user.ini"“My Fort Friewall：统计”统计路径不包含“FortFirewall.user.ini”

"FortFirewall.user.ini" is from "C:\Users[USER-NAME]\AppData\Local\Fort Firewall".“FortFirewall.user.ini”来自“C:\Users[用户名]\AppData\Local\Fort Firewall”。

There is a question, if the exported file is a fixed time node, how to ensure that it is changed in real time? Because my understanding is to separate the statistics into a file and then back it up with a hard link

[tnodir]

links use reference counting is a good implementation if you just need to create copies of files without requiring a third party.

I was wondering which "hard link" do you mean.

But it's still dangerous. Because you can not just copy that file to other machine - SQLite manages the file with other temporary files (-shm, -wal).

[zk637]

Maybe that's it, because I just want to back up my statistics,You seem to forget that hard connections cannot cross partitions,I have now used symbolic links

[zk637]

I think the problem is over, there is no need to stop Fort Firewall when creating a hard link, if only FortFirewall.stat and fortfirewall.stat-block backup statistics are needed.However, the use of symbolic links still needs to stop the Fort Firewall, I think this part can be improved?

[tnodir]

Again, you can not copy that files in parallel of working Fort Firewall. Directly or via links, it does not matter.

Please wait for #253.

[zk637]

I want to share the latest progress, I have written the vbs script to implement the hard connection as a normal file so that it can be robocopy for cross-file system backup! But I won't be able to compare the hash to see if the two matches until you've safely released the resource. And I want to know if there is a security risk? I used a hard link to access FortFirewall.stat

[zk637]

Update since 3.12.11 will automatically stop the service, so that I can determine the hash value of the data at the key node, so I think the problem should be solved?(Because I'm not sure the logic of the program needs to be asked)

[zk637]

The problem has been preliminarily resolved, see details
