Also offer to backup user data

[jospoortvliet]

A possible next step would be to also offer (wholesale, and/or later incremental) backup of the actual user data. Per user, per folder - and also stuff like trashbin (or not) and old versions (or not).

In my use case - I have our private pictures stored on ownCloud as well as music, movies, work and private documents. I would want to backup the pictures and documents but don't care about the music or movies.

Of course this only makes sense if there's an option to choose a location to back up to - see #3 ;-)

Hm, is it good that an admin would have to decide what to backup for a user?
Or are we talking about the "1 OC user"-case?

[jospoortvliet]

I think it is fine if the admin decides. After all, only small servers would use this - any big, serious deployment uses stuff like, I dunno, Bacula or whatever...

I'm very interesting in using your app, which - i think - has benn developed to make easier the backup routine. So, I'm wondering if you made a documentation to properly configure all the possible choises in OwnBackup page. Is it possible to backup to an external disk? Does the app backup only program or also users (all?) data?
Thanks for answering

Thank you for your interest in OwnBackup. So far it automatically does periodically backups of the database and usage of external ownCloud storage isn't yet supported. The database backups are stored in the ownCloud data folder.
