[SOLVED] Appwrite inbuilt Backup with UI

So from the history here I understand there is no UI for backup in appwrite. It would be a nice addition to this awesome tool. Please consider adding this feature. Please refer to attached screenshot of Backup module from runcloud server control panel. I would be great if Appwrite also has one like this.

Presently I enabled droplet backup on Digital ocean. But the frequency is one week.

Is this backup works without issues if I restore...?

Is there any tools available to automate backups for appwrite...?

Kindly advice on current best approach for backup.

thank you

Thank you Steven. I did 👍 on github

Hope Appwrite team will look into this feature soon. Looks like the most wanted feature. I am the 50th guy liked that in github. 🤞

I also run appwrite on Digital Ocean and had to restore a backup once. It worked without any problem, everything was back to the backup state.

If you have to do something like an appwrite upgrade or something similar, I suggest you take a snapshot, which is kind of like a manual backup that can also be restored, if anything fails. Worked for me every time, I used it when I had trouble upgrading to 1.4.3

The issue is that probably if you do the snapshot meanwhile data is being stored, deleted or edited, there's a chance of getting a fragment that could corrupt the database or make it throw an error

Thank you Maegondo🙂 ... Yes I tried that DO backup. It works without issue. Also, there is a inbuilt service called snapshooter(PAID)... through which we can set backup frequency to hourly / daily.
