[Feature Request] Split app backups in multiple parts after configurable size #709

Open m3adow opened 1 year ago

m3adow commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it. Kind of. I use FolderSync to sync my backup to Box.com. Sadly, box.com limits the maximum size of a file, depending on the users plan . I'm using the Free Plan, so my upload limit is 250MB. Several app backups are bigger than that, resulting in an upload failure.

Describe the primary solution I'd love to have a configurable max size per archive. If a backup is bigger than X (e.g 250MB), then the archive is split in to files.

System Information (please complete the following information):

this is rather limited. Why don't you choose another service? from my POV box.com isn't attractive, I actually dropped it when they dropped webdav

I think we'll (re)consider this for future (major) releases

While not using box.com would solve MY problem (and that's what I did), there's a lot of similar scenarios. E.g. Many hosted Nextcloud instances have a upload file size maximum (due to PHP settings). Also, if people for whatever reason have a FAT32 formatted Backup location anything >4GB will not be possible to be backed up as well.
