Great emoncms dashboards by Paul Reed, Jürgen and Tom + update on backup

There's a new forum on the forums for showcasing emoncms dashboard creations (thanks to Paul Reed for the idea), here are a few screenshots of dashboards created by Paul Reed and Jürgen:

I really like the additions of the icons, you can do this by inserting html in the text widget.

Emoncms backup
A couple of additions to the script linked to in the last blog post: http://openenergymonitor.blogspot.com/2013/07/a-new-backup-system-for-emoncmsorg.html

Completes file backup correctly and better verbose output:
https://github.com/emoncms/usefulscripts/blob/master/backup_method2.php

To run the backup script from a service, there's a service script available here:
https://github.com/emoncms/usefulscripts/blob/master/emonbackup

To install the service script:
sudo cp /home/username/backup/emonbackup /etc/init.d/ 
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/emonbackup 
sudo update-rc.d emonbackup defaults

Start the service:
sudo /etc/init.d/emonbackup start log
