Backups

[privsec]

I am noticing that Apps are getting backup and stored far more frequently then cloudron backups in total.

How do I limit the backups frequency per app and retention policies per app

@privsec if an app gets updated, an extra backup is created, see https://docs.cloudron.io/updates/#app-updates for reference, they stick around for three weeks.

I have backups that are 4 weeks old

Also, this can cause a high expense with a service like Wasabi.
Can we alter this at all?

@privsec you could disable automatic updates and skip backing up when you update manually, which I definitely wouldn't recommend. Did you create those backups manually? You could try the regular backup view and hit the "Cleanup Backups" button.

I'm using the immich app for my pictures and it is getting a lot of updates. Each update creates a backup with my 100GB+ library.

This is is making my s3 storage more expensive than i want.
I'd like to limit app backups to 3 total for the apps i choose.

Maybe create a feature request post about it?
