Hi Ahmed
Thank you very very much for your response.
Is there perhaps an online document or manual you can refer me to in order to get the actual steps / commands for achieving the backups you have pointed out?
Excuse my lack of understanding this, I am very new to Linux distributions and deployments.
Thanking you in advance

Hi all
I hope and trust everyone is keeping well and safe during this time.
Can anyone please assist me, I am trying to make a backup of my Observium installation to move it to a "bigger" system / machine, I installed the application to see how it worked and to test features, needless to say that I love it, and have subsequently set it up to monitor my entire WISP network. However, I unfortunately did not pay much attention to the system's specifications, as it was not initially intended to be a permanent deployment, not knowing what to expect or that it would turn out to be such a wonderful tool.
Please could you advise on a step by step procedure to enable me to make a full backup of the installation / database / configs in order to migrate it to a more future proof system, bearing in mind that my Linux experience is very limited.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated
Stay safe
Regards, Shaun
