Just sharing a story.
Having a whole house generator installed today, and forgot to shut down my PC with HS3 on it before hand. This is not an unusual occurance however, with the power issues we are solving with the generator... and it's never been an issue. Until today
Powered everything back up, and while HS3 ran, so did the HSspeaker app, which i never had set to come up at boot up. Then noticed that while my PIs were all there, not on of them (~10) were running.
Saw DB errors in the log, and figured the bad shutdown was the cause.
Lo and behold, i've been using BLBackup for years, but never had to actually use a backup. Pulled a copy over, and saved on top of the HS3 directory, and boom, all as it should be.
Swhew
Take this as a warning to anyone not running backups!!!
