What do you mean by a hot backup? Observium uses a standard MySQL-database which can be easliy backup with mysqldump https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysqldump.html Use the --single-transaction to just dump the whole DB to a file, as this is done as a single transaction there is no issues with doing this on the live database.
To recover a broken Observium server you will need backup of 3 things. The MySQL-DB, the rrd-directory and the config.php-file

Hi all,
Is it possible to take hot backup of observium database? Also if the observium server crashes unexpectedly will we be able to recover it?
Thanks
