Upload file to Dropbox more than 150 Mb #854

Closed XHunter74 closed 1 year ago

Could you split backup archive to parts to avoid Dropbox limitations? For example by 100 Mb. Actually, it is a standard feature of zip.

As far as I know, this is only possible for buisiness accounts

I meant something different. Currently I organized backup of Postgres db to Dropbox in the next way: I am archiving .pgsql using next command: zip -s 100m $filename_zip $filename and then upload files to Dropbox without any issues. As result I have next files: iobroker_2023-01-31.0300.z01 iobroker_2023-01-31.0300.z02 iobroker_2023-01-31.0300.z03 iobroker_2023-01-31.0300.zip

OK I'm talking about an upload session here. Splitting a backup is not an option for an iobroker backup

XHunter74 commented 1 year ago

Why? I am uploading files in one session and Dropbox processes it correctly. You should use batch upload feature of dropbox-v2-api package.

P.S. Upload session doesn't have any limitations. Or I don't know about them :)

this is about the restore. The js controller expects a backup file in tar.gz and no individual zip files. it does not work that way

Easier to convert archives to the proper format than to lose all data in one 'perfect' day. I discovered suddenly that my database was not reserved after three months when size of the file grow. We can't force users to buy premium Dropbox subscription but can resolve the issue in another way.

I'll take a look at that when I get a chance

The structure of Backitup does not give an option to split zip's. This means that a zip file is no longer recognized in the restore and a restore is no longer possible.

If files are larger than 150 MB, I recommend to look for alternatives to Dropbox.

OneDrive support comes as of v2.6.x Furthermore options like GoogleDrive, WebDav (Nextcloud) would be possible.

Another option is to rent a storage box from Hetzner for little money. There you can upload your data via CIFS, WebDav etc. without size limit.

Splitting into single zips will not be supported by Backitup.

'OneDrive support comes as of v2.6.x' - sounds good!

Dropbox file upload up to 350 GB added in v.2.6.6
