Likely being Captain Obvoius here, but remember config.php for any manual configuration tweaks done :-)

Hi,

State and configuration data is all on the database. Metrics and historical data is all in RRD files in the rrd directory.

Copying the rrds is sufficient to retain historical data in graphs. Copying the MySQL database will retain logs and other data, too.

Hi All – recently broke my Observium install during a Ubuntu
upgrade so now I am looking to build Observium on a new box.

I inherited this install and have only used it a small degree so
it is fair to say I am not very familiar with the overall package
but want to get a better understanding an expand my usage as much
as possible.

For my new install I would like to be able to retain access to the
historical data that has been collected (if possible).

I am hoping someone will be able to give me a quick rundown on
what parts of the current install I should be backing up? I have
taken a copy of the mysql DB to start with but I am not sure if I
should be taking something else as well.

Appreciate any assistance.

Cheers

Mal
