Backup Job as a `CronJob` #209

Open arsanysamuel opened 1 month ago

arsanysamuel commented 1 month ago

I know there's a job for backing up the DB that is disabled by default. As far as I can understand enabling this job will result in creating a backup every deployment, right?

Wouldn't it make more sense to convert that to a cron job? Or does frappe has a scheduled functionality by default?

Backup strategy can be different.

For small setups simple job with bench --site all backup --with-files is enough. Then push those files to s3.

For medium setup you can go with bench --site all backup and then use s3 to snapshot sites directory which includes the db dump as well as files.

For large setups NFS volume snapshots and mariabackup snapshots makes more sense.

If you are okay above 3 levels, create a cronjob for your use. If using kubernetes, you can even use other projects like velero to take backups.
