      I'm running NC on a homeserver and it's working great. However, I just noticed that my backups are 30GB in size so it seems it's saving a copy of all my data too. I'm not worried about data loss as I would have multiple copies of it on several PC's and I do take periodic cold-storage backups for redundancy.

      • Is it possible to have Cloudron back up the "config" stuff like the users/storage limits/etc. without saving any of the user uploaded data?

      I read the documentation about data retention and I have a question regarding the proper syntax that I should use.

      'trashbin_retention_obligation' => 'auto',
      

      I'd like to use the option below and have it delete them after 7 days.

      auto, D
      

      What would be the proper syntax to use? Is it....

      auto, 7
      

      or

      auto, D7
      

      Thanks!

        @humptydumpty said in Auto Backups - Data Retention and Syntax Questions:

        auto, 7

        I think this is the one. This would translate to delete all files in the trash bin that are older than 7 days automatically, delete other files anytime if space needed.

        (I think D is just notation for doc purposes)
