Transfering apps to a new server SUX!

Your manners have been enlightening, too.

For the record, I absolutely love how easy it is to move an app (or even a whole Cloudron install with all it's apps) from one server. I've done it a few times now and every single time it has Just Worked because the design of how it works is actually very well thought out and designed IMHO

I don't think "just" being able to download what are by definition incremental backups (i.e. rsync backups) is really even a thing, is it?

[necrevistonnezr]

@jdaviescoates Well, in theory, even with rsync there should be a "snapshot" (as an incremental backup consists of recently changed files and hardlinks to unchanged files, IIRC) that one could download as a zip file. If that's feasible and how one would deal with file permissions, database backups, etc. is another matter (but should be scriptable).

@jdaviescoates good for you buddy.

@necrevistonnezr yeah well, I only have so much patience with people being unable to comprehend the meaning of "NOT AN OPTION". Shoot me, I guess...

@svtx you seem to be confusing server backup configs with APP backup configs.

Two different things.

You're right that a server backup config doesn't suit your purpose.

An APP backup does. (As many have attempted to point it out to you.)
