Back up different parts of the app at different times

[ekevu123]

I am still experimenting with good backup settings. Currently, I am trying slow, but stable settings, and one backup can take up to 10 hours, during which I cannot re-install an app.

So, I was wondering: Can I perhaps back up different parts of the app at different times?
For example:

• E-mails (which is already 64 GB) could be backed up during the day during which I can still work with apps
• Immich, for example, which has tens of thousands of small files, could be backed up separately while not affecting the rest of the server
• Everything else could be backed up during the night

CR 9 will focus on backups. Looking forward to its development.

“Different parts of the app” : sounds weird to me. And unmanageable.
In the example you give, it’s not different parts. It’s different apps, email, Immich etc
Maybe I’ve misunderstood but I think the wording is wrong.

You are correct in your assumptions, I mean basically splitting the backup into separate processes.

@ekevu123 there are other posts suggesting more options in performing backups.
Might be worth doing a search.
This sounds a duplicate.
Doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile. Just clarifying.
