Statistics

raspiBackup checks at every startup, but at most once a day, whether there is a new release or a beta available and then informs you with a message so that an upgrade can be planned and carried out. During this check information is also transmitted, which makes it possible to collect general usage data of raspiBackup and to get an overview of the respective usage.

The information that is transmitted is

• Release
• Backup type
• Backup mode
• Backup or restore call
• Keep
• Parameters of the intelligent rotation strategy, if it is used
• OS: Raspberry Pi OS or Ubuntu

Sending the above information can be disabled with the option

DEFAULT_SEND_STATS=0

in the configuration file /usr/local/etc/raspiBackup.conf.
