icon5.gif   recovery of elog from backup disk, posted by neerajan nepal on Wed Apr 13 16:31:27 2022 

Hello,

I do have a backup of elog repository in an external disk (with a directory name .elog). I want to install this repository to a new linux (either ubuntu 20.xx or Cent OS 7) computer. I am new to this, can someone please provide me an instructions sheet. 

Thank you

unfortunately instructions do not exist to cover every possible situation.

but in general, to migrate elog to a new machine, I would say do this:
- on new machine, install new elog from scratch
- copy the old elogs from "logbooks" on the backup disk to the new elog "logbooks"
- merge the config file by hand (this may require a few tries)

feel free to ask for more help with any of these steps here.
K.O.

Is there an option that elog creates one logfile for one entry in the
database? It seems that there elog is creating one logfile for one day.

No. One file per day was chosen in order to keep the number of files small.
For which purpose would you need such an option?

I want exchange the logs as files and not with the mirroring function. My 
collegue and me are already exchanging all our project files, so the logs from 
ELOG could be included in this exchange.

If you do not want to use the mirroring, then you can extract a single entry with
the "hidden" download command. Like for this entry:

http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/1039?cmd=Download

Tell your browser to save the result locally and you have a file with just this
message. Note however that if you ship these files around, and combine them with an
existing logbook by copying them to the logbook directory, you could have two
entries with the same ID, in which case elogd would produce unpredictable results.
