How to backup from failed server
Posted: Fri Jan 14, 2022 4:50 pm
Can anyone advise if it is possible to take a backup of ZoneMinder from a server that is preventing ZoneMinder from working but Linux itself appears to be working OK.
My server failed to restart after a power outage. Although I eventually got the server and Linux working OK it is still displaying errors which appear to be disk related and ZoneMinder will not start. Looks like a new disk and a rebuild but before I start down that path I was wondering if it is possible to take some files of the existing build, since I can navigate around the file structure. I was hoping to be able to take a copy of the configuration to avoid having to go through the setup process again and ideally the event history .
Thanks.
