Wow this looks awesome. I just rebuilt my zoneminder server again because I am unable to comprehend the backup process. Stupid I know but why is there no way to accomplish this in an easier way?

I am hoping this helps someone else because I couldn't find it anywhere Thank you to others who have posted and helped other folks ...

I have 2 work around/options you might try. My wife and I use an app called "Cam Viewer Pro" by Robert Chou on Google play $3.99. (There is also a free version) It has a reboot option that I use for 2 of my cameras that have IR cut filter issues that a quick reboot fixes. It only takes me a moment ...

I figured out my issue... I had Zoneminder installed on 3 different computers all configured exactly alike and running simultaneously. After uninstalling from all computers except the Ubuntu 16.04 server my errors disappeared. But my PC I use for viewing the "montage" mode in the living room would ...
