Automatic Export/Backup #93

Open BlizzardWizzard opened 5 months ago

BlizzardWizzard commented 5 months ago

It would be awesome if the app could automatically export its data to a folder, on a schedule of once a week (or some other time period).

I like syncing all my phone app backups regularly using Syncthing, so if I could just point Syncthing at a folder and have it pull backups regularly, it would save me a lot of work.

Currently, the app lets you set external folders for app data. While not a real backup, it does allow you to store the app data in a synced folder. Effectively this is an instant single backup.

That said, I like the idea of automatic backups. I'm just not sure if it makes sense to have both features. I'm open to thoughts on this.

Thats true, I didn't think about simply setting the app data location to something Syncthing can grab. That might even be a more storage efficient way of doing it.

I was thinking about the export logs/images function, as in maybe set up the export location once and have the app export the logs and images on a schedule.

The warning when changing the app data location says that the contents of the chosen folder would overwrite the current data, which indicates importing of the data is supported - which is all I really need?

I think that means I'm happy with the current state of things, I just didn't realize the potential of this function from the in-app description.

Thank you so much 😄
