• A specific plugin to automate backup & restore is in development
• In the meantime, you can use those instructions
• Those instructions are valid up to version 0.9.9

• Backup your documents folder. It is
  • located in your personal folder
  • named freehealth
• Backup your configuration folder. It is
  • a hidden folder
  • named .freehealth
  • located inside your personal folder

To be able to see this hidden folder, you may need to set your document manager to show hidden files and folders

• That's all.

Your configuration files and your data (medical files database, documents, datapacks) are safe Linux/Mac script :

# get in your personal folder
cd ~
# create a tar.gz archive containing all your data
DATE=`date "+%Y%m%d_%H%M%S"`
tar czvf freehealth_bkup$DATE.tgz ~/.freehealth ~/freehealth

• Backup your documents folder. It is
  • located in your personal folder
  • named freehealth
• Backup your configuration folder. It is
  • a hidden folder
  • named .freehealth
  • located inside your personal folder

To be able to see this hidden folder, you may need to set your document manager to show hidden files and folders

• Backup FreeHealth MariaDB databases (for historical reasons, each FreeHealth database starts with fmf_):

  	fmf_agenda
  	fmf_alerts
  	fmf_category
  	fmf_dosages
  	fmf_episodes
  	fmf_patients
  	fmf_pmh
  	fmf_templates
  	fmf_users
  	fmf_xmlforms

• Backup FreeHealth MariaDB users, you could do that by creating a backup of the mysql database which contains all MariaDB users
• We recommend that you use the command mysqldump (GNU/Linux, Mac) or graphical user interface free software phpMyAdmin (GNU/Linux, Mac, Windows)
• If you need more information please ask on the forum

To restore or migrate your data, it is recommended to use the same FreeHealth version or the version immediately superior. If there is more than one intermediate version between the version used to backup data and the version you're trying to restore it to, please read changelogs carefully for all versions. When in doubt or if a problem arises, ask for help on the forum.
