Restore backup from backup file
-
As a user I want be able to restore an application from a one of the backup targz/zipfiles taken by the backup routine.
Why I propose this:
It is not clear to me how I do this, so I assume this is not possible.
In the restore backup dialog presented, I can upload the backup configuration, but I can not provide the backup file itself.
In a disaster scenario, it is plausible that I have also lost the actual backup destination, and I fall back to secondary backup location, which I have to fish out the backup files manually and restore them as such.Cloudron fan

Is totally doable.
In such a disaster recovery scenario you can just leave the default backup configuration as it is filesystem.
Upload your backup to the server to/mnt/cloudronbackup.
Then in the restore of an app you have to manufacture the config by hand.
Painful, but doable.
Did so 2-3 times because I nuked my server.
This is not your request tho.
I agree, having the app backup config as a part of the app backup itself would be nifty to enable "just upload the tgz" and let it restore.
This would also enable Cloudron "to just upload the backup without installing the app first".
déjà vu
I think, I talked or wrote about exactly this some time ago.
