Allow for using scheduled (cron) backups using kiauh scripts

Not related to a problem.

Describe the solution you'd like

I utilize the backup options under the kiauh menu. This makes a very portable backup that can be pushed to github, or even stored elsewhere. I am interested in a feature that would let us use the already built-in features of the backup to run via cron. Having the ability to backup each item we have installed would be very beneficial. I envision something being put into cron or a personalized script to run manually like this: ./kiauh/scripts/backup.sh klipper ./kiauh/scripts/backup.sh moonraker ./kiauh/scripts/backup.sh moonraker-db ./kiauh/scripts/backup.sh mainsail (or fluidd, based on your installation) ./kiauh/scripts/backup.sh klipperscreen

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have installed klipper-backup tools and while they work, this is another "tool" to ensure is updated. Using kiauh, when I update that tool, it would update any backup scripts also.

Additional information

Basically, I am looking for an ability to run the included backup.sh for each installed product manually (scripted, etc...)

personally, command line switches would be nice in all the kiauh tools: kiauh.sh backup klipper kiauh.sh upgrade klipper

hi, i have the same issue/idea right now and came up with the following script so far

this script is placed in my users home directory.. maybe you need to adjust the KIAUH_SRCDIR to your needs

#!/bin/bash

### sourcing all additional scripts
#KIAUH_SRCDIR="$(dirname -- "$(readlink -f "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")")"
KIAUH_SRCDIR="./kiauh"
for script in "${KIAUH_SRCDIR}/scripts/"*.sh; do . "${script}"; done
for script in "${KIAUH_SRCDIR}/scripts/ui/"*.sh; do . "${script}"; done

set_globals

backup_config_dir
backup_moonraker_database
backup_klipper
backup_mainsail
backup_moonraker
backup_klipperscreen

but yes maybe such a script could be included in this repository directly

consider setting this up, at least for printer configs. you could copy other things to config dir to get them included
