Auto-Backup

[AceDenghar]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I launched MMex on my tablet wich is synced with my phone (resilio sync). It asked for creating a new account. And the database file as been synced with my phone... Lost everything.

Describe the solution you'd like Auto file backup : we could set th time between two backup files (ie 2 days) and it will automatically create a backup file with date in his name.

Thanks for all

hi @AceDenghar, sorry to hear that.

can you elaborate? based on current arch, the database file is stored in your choose cloud provider (Resilio here), can you try to find it from there?

[AceDenghar]

Hi,

Yes, I could find the file but it was empty.

I started back from an old manual export.

So, for the features, it could be good to add an option about how many backuped files we want.

So, two options :

• backup frequency
• backup files count

ie:

I set a day as a frequency, and to keep only 7 backup files : I get a backup file for each day of the passed week.

Frequency could be in day, hour, month...

Thanks

I meant the previous database file version.

Regarding backup, there is a similar option on the mmex desktop. I just wanted to let you know that you may check it out.

here you go the documents of MMEX Desktop https://moneymanagerex.org/moneymanagerex/en_US/index.html

Hi,

Thank you but I don't use mmex desktop... Only on Android

ok, we can consider leveraging your chosen cloud provider to perform the backs.

for Resillo, i just ran into its document: https://help.resilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/204754239-Using-Archive-for-file-versioning-and-restoring-deleted-files

for MMEX, this explicitly backup via extra copies would be a nice to have feature in feature.
