Backup Notes

[JLX89]

Hello!
It would be great if we had the ability to add notes to manual backups for Apps. For example, we develop a lot of sites on Cloudron and it would be great to add a few notes after a manual backup so we know which backup contains what.

Thank you!

@jlx89 true!
Had a use case for just that last week when working on the gitlab migration.

If the metadata format for backups is touched for the notes field, it probably also makes sense to add a "keep" option to prevent these special backup sets falling out of the retention period.

[JLX89]

@fbartels Yeah, +1 on that for sure!

Good idea, I have been missing this myself. Quite trivial to add as well, just adding a db field and exposing it. We also have the equivalent keep field in the db schema already.

Hello,
I am just curious if there are any updates on this?

Thank you!

@JLX89 sounds like it'll be in the next release:

@girish said in What's coming in 7.2:

• Give backups a name and control how they are preserved/cleaned up.
• Rework the backup code to use async/await

@jdaviescoates Awesome, thanks -- I missed that.
