Hi,
I have an EmonPi running “Powered by OpenEnergyMonitor.org | low-write 9.8.8 | 2017.07.18”.
I want to update it, but I have 18 months of data that I don’t want to lose.
When I try to run a backup in the web interface it doesn’t seem to complete. The display shows:
=== Emoncms export start ===

EUID: 1000
Reading /home/pi/backup/config.cfg....
Location of mysql database: /home/pi/data
Location of emonhub.conf: /home/pi/data
Location of emoncms.conf: /home/pi/data
Location of Emoncms: /var/www/emoncms
Backup destination: /home/pi/data
Image version: emonSD-07Nov16
Emoncms MYSQL database dump complete, adding files to archive ..
If I login and look in /home/pi/data there is a tarball there but its truncated:

tar: Unexpected EOF in archive

I’m not sure if its related, but I’m getting then very long “hangs” and the following logged by the kernel:

Not sure if this is telling me that my SD is busted and has issues if it gets too full?
Otherwise I seem to be kinda stuck to update.
Thanks,
Steve
