Feature description

A way for an admin to setup automatic backups on a given schedule. Also, with this a simple way to migrate from a backup could be part of the same menu item.

Pitch

Since the app is still fairly new, I am running into small issues saving (I'll open a separate issue report for this). However, it would be nice to have an automatic backup solution for this in case it does happen.

Primary reasons (for me):

  1. Migrating to new or old versions without breaking things by accident. ( I did this the other day while testing the dev image. I was a bit hasty and didn't look into your comment wooops).

  2. I prefer to have some form of backup built in. If there is a manual method, it needs to be defined.

All data is inside the 'data' folder. You can create a really simple bash script that zips the folder and encrypts it, and then you can automate it with a cron job.
Because this is a really easy process, I don't see the need for this feature. Thanks anyways for the suggestion.
