[Backups] Ability to add multiple storage provider/location

[p44]

@girish Hello Girish, any news on this feature? Many thank's

[jayonrails]

I can only agree with the previous speaker. I would be very happy about an implementation. For me it is not foreseeable how much effort it can be.

Might be a case of packaging the Rclone Web GUI as an app, then people can duplicate their main S3 backups anywhere else as a secondary routine.

@marcusquinn This could be an alternative solution but I hope that a second backup can be configured directly in Cloudron.

Any update on this, @staff? Hopefully this will be coming soon. Multiple backup methods is important especially as businesses grow.

@d19dotca Totally agree with this point of view: multiple backup methods are important. I hope that this feature can be added soon, so we can use different methods to store data also on multiple datacenter.

Was surprised to find that this was not already a feature built into Cloudron today.

Is the concern essentially consistently between backups?

[girish]

@threetrees3 there's no concern as such, just haven't gotten around to implementing it.

When we implement it, it will be implemented as a remote copy and not creating another backup, I imagine. If we create yet another backup, I imagine the consistency problem you brought up will be a problem.

@Sarahclark Links spam injected in a edited quote. Reported.

[girish]

@marcusquinn yes, thanks for reporting. I deleted that account.

I'm also highly interested in such features, to the light of all backup failures faced by few folks including me recently and reported in the support and discussion forums. Could be indeed something as simple as using rclone.
