I am new to phant, is there a way to back up data ?

Hi,

Probably the best way to backup your data is to download it on a periodic basis or write a script to do so automatically. You can download in a number of formats, json or csv being probably the most useful for backing up. On Mar 23, 2015 1:12 PM, "mikewen" notifications@github.com wrote:

Sorry, what I mean if I install phant on my local server. How can I backup all the data? Which directory should I look for?

Are you running this on a linux machine, did you install globally or to a specific location...i.e your node packages directory.

Phant is No Longer in Operation

Unfortunately Phant, our data-streaming service, is no longer in service and will be discontinued. The system has reached capacity and, like a less-adventurous Cassini, has plunged conclusively into a fiery and permanent retirement. There are several other maker-friendly, data-streaming services and/or IoT platforms available as alternatives. The three we recommend are Blynk, ThingSpeak, and Cayenne. You can read our blog post [ https://www.sparkfun.com/news/2413 ] on the topic for an overview and helpful links for each platform.
