is backuping live_back relevant? #286

Closed fflorent closed 2 years ago

fflorent commented 2 years ago

Backuping Mastodon can take long because of the size of the generated archive. That's why I ask this question.

When we backup Mastodon, we also archive the live_back folder (/var/www/mastodon/live_back).

I can't find any documentation of how nor of the usage of this folder. It looks like it's a kind of backup (a copy at some point of the /var/www/mastodon/live folder). And if I am not wrong, I wonder if that's relevant to backup this directory?

Thanks in advance for your answer!

As far as i've checked, there is no live_back in mastodon. You can delete it

I see, it used to be created before f1ea723f4402b1adff2c393e1e7e207f0b301f7b, and for some reasons, the removal did not run for me.

I remove it, thanks!
