[SOLVED]: Does backing up the entire droplet and space with services like SnapShooter work?

Suppose I did a self host on DO, will it work by using an external tool like https://snapshooter.com/ to perform daily backup? Will I be able to restore the state of my Appwrite application with a daily snapshot of droplet and space? IMO that's a yes, but want to confirm

TL;DR

Backing up the entire droplet and space with services like SnapShooter does work. It is recommended to follow the 3-2-1 backup method for critical data. It is also recommended to do a separate backup of the database to avoid missing data. If all of your Appwrite is inside one `docker-compose.yml` file, it should work out-of-the-box. Using an external tool like SnapShooter for daily backups should be able to restore the state of your Appwrite application.

Yes, it should work But you won't have PITR, just by the date & hour of the backup.

Meaning if all of your Appwrite is inside one docker-compose.yml file, then it should work out-of-the-box.

I recommend anyways doing a separate backup of the database, since it could lead into some missing data if someone is writing or performing an operation while the backup has been performed
