Builtin wallet backup "cron" job #897

Closed drltc closed 9 years ago

drltc commented 9 years ago

Let's have the client do weekly wallet backups by default, with an adjustable time interval.

Yes, it's trivial to set up a cron job to do this with RPC, but it would be kind of a pain on Windows.

jcalfee commented 9 years ago

Just a though... A CLI to RPC command line utility could perhaps be done in a generic way for many RPC calls including the wallet backup. It does not have to be part of the core toolkit and may be in ruby or python for example.

Schedulers can offer many features and let the users manage schedules in one place so it would be good to use it.

A script like this should at least support environment variables for authentication (makes it easier to hide from logging).

I just posted a similar idea here: https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares_toolkit/issues/903

...Before seeing this one.

Sorry to be redundant.

xeroc commented 9 years ago

Can we please also FORCE the user to store the INITIAL wallet backup file somewhere?

Closing redundant issue. All future comments to #903
