Remote backup for all subscriptions

[gsanchietti]

Overview: Extend remote backup access to both Enterprise and Community subscriptions. Additionally, provide more detailed information about each backup and expose the delete backup functionality.

Details:

• Extended Access: Enable remote backup functionality for both Enterprise and Community subscriptions.
• Additional Information: Expose the following additional details for each backup:
  • Creation Date: Display the creation date in local time.
  • Encryption Status: Indicate whether the backup is encrypted or not.
  • Size: Show the size of each backup.

Required Changes:

1. Backend:

   • Modify the remote backup service to allow access for Community subscriptions.
   • Update the API to include the additional information (creation date, encryption status, size).

2. Frontend:

   • Display the creation date in local time for each backup entry.
   • Indicate whether the backup is encrypted.
   • Show the size of each backup.
   • Add a delete button to the backup list, enabling users to delete backups.

Benefits:

• Inclusivity: Community subscription users will now have access to remote backup, increasing the value of their subscription.
• Enhanced Usability: Users will have more detailed information about their backups, aiding in better management.
• Improved Control: The delete backup button will allow users to manage their storage more effectively.

  • restore an uploaded backup archive

Test case 2

• Register the machine with an Enterprise subscription
• Check the backup page behavior is almost unchanged:
  • the user must be able to see the list of existing remote backups

  • the user must be able to restore a remote archive (please verify the restore is successful!)
• Check also the user can delete a remote archive

Test case 3

• Register the machine with an Community subscription
• Check the backup page behavior is almost unchanged:
  • the user must be able to see the list of existing remote backups
  • the user must be able to download a remote archive
  • the user must be able to restore a remote archive (please verify the restore is successful!)
