    The feedback has been that the releases are too long . So, let's get back to quicker releases šŸ™‚

    This release we want to just really fix backups.

    • Backup integrity - store size and checksum of backups. Also provide a way to "verify" backup integrity in the remote.
    • Show backup/restore progress
    • Add Hetzner Storage Box backend (based on rsync)
    • Multiple Backup Destinations
    • Fix issue with removal of stale/failed/partial backups
    • Improve app repair workflow
    • Upgrade MongoDB to 5.x (part of 7.6)

    If we have time, maybe we look into testing out a Restic backend.

    very good, can't wait! Would be good to choose which Applications should be backuped to other destination.

    Can’t wait for this (kind of a) solution as + 200GB every day is taking too long and too inefficient

    Look into memory usage/limits during backups as well, as that caused some issues recently.

    @girish I think you already acknowledged the blocking of all other app activities when a backup is running. That would be a huge time saver for me šŸ™‚

    More backup retention options, even better, customizable, per app.

    The ability to "install app from backup". Now, you can only restore an already installed app from a backup. It would be really valuable to be able to just install an app from an older backup without having to think about versioning etc.

    @odie Is this different from clone - https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#clone-app ? Or are you referring to installing an app with backup from one server into another?

    @girish I think what @odie would like to do is to restore from a backup which came from a different server.

    This seems to be very interesting feature...

    Waiting also for native multiple backup locations ā˜ŗļø

    @girish it would also be very useful to have on 'app level / settings' an option to keep "global backup schedule" or use a "app backup schedule". This way you can make for some apps (like data sensitive apps like CRM) an hourly backup schedule where for a +200GB Nextcloud you can keep the daily "global schedule".

    @imc67 By the time you need hourly backups, you're probably knocking on the database replication door.

    @girish Yes, it’s different. Many times I’ve thought about removing an app, or mess about with configurations etc. from an app that is running ok, but for some reason I want to change.

    One scenario is this example. Let’s say I wanted to create an offline backup of articles in my ā€œpocketā€ account (getpocket.com). I could use Wallabag for this purpose, import everything and leave it running. But let’s say I don’t need this running persistently, I just want to keep an old backup lying around. With the functionality I ask for, I could simply backup the current Wallabag installation, put the backup in cold storage, and then 5 years later, I could simply install directly from this backup.

    A second scenario; if I want to play around with loads of different settings for an app, I could simply take a backup first, mess about however much without worrying whether I destroyed something, and then uninstall the version I broke due to my fiddling about, and simply reinstall from the old backup.

    A third scenario; when Cloudron offers upgrades that break functionality, I could simply backup the app containing the old version and all my settings and data, and then upgrade knowing full well that I kept an old, working copy in case something I needed was broken.

    The perfect implementation of this ā€œinstall app from backupā€ would be to be able to browse old backup files like ā€œan app storeā€, and install in the same way (ie. choosing a new location for an old backuped version etc). But that’s perhaps asking for too much?

    The import should install the appropriate version of the app automatically.

    • Please eliminate the All Mail feature or give the chance to turn it off.
    • Disable the automatic Install or Activation of SMTP default pligin. I use WP Mail SMTP, the default one create conflicts

    @estudios507 yes, we will add an option to disable All Mail in the next release. As for the WP Email, can you not disable it - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#mail-from-address ?

    @estudios507 2. I guess a WordPress app specific request? I used to use WP Mail SMTP, but switched to Fluent SMTP. Sorry to hijack, and if you have your reasons, just thought you might also like to the same reasons.
