Feature request: Allow selection of storage location for backup files.

[sgofferj]

Note: Having not noticed this app, I made a feature request for the Nextcloud core which is covered in part by the functionality of this app: nextcloud/server#17328

I would like to suggest that the app offers a configuration choice for where to store the backup files within the realm of the files app so the backup files can be pulled and moved to another location, e.g. a separate backup server or offsite-backup.
This is somewhat important for docker instances where stuff inside the container should basically be directly accessible only by the container.

Thank you for your suggestion, but generally I wouldn't rely on this backup too much since it is only as good as the Nextcloud API for storing the data.

Any news on this ? is it possible to store the backup on the file app scope so it would be accessible easily.
Thanks a lot

No news on this and currently no plans to implement it.

is it possible to store the backup on the file app scope so it would be accessible easily.

no it isn't, because the backups are not linked to one individual user. and the backups are no sql files (if you thought that they were)

@pbek Thanks for the reply :)

Not really related but do you think it would be possible to display database content ?

Display where? In the backup files? Sure, the files are pretty readable.

Thanks i will look into that if i have the time ;) (yes in the backup field to be able to see what data are restored...)

Hello, I would also like to ask you for this function, that is to say, to be able to select the destination folder for backups? especially a folder accessible by the file manager, for example in my personal space.

thank you very much, see you soon
