How to save or backup my project in selfhost?

I'm looking for a tutorial on how to backup my project and how to import it.

TL;DR

Use your S3 provider's native backup tools to save the whole Appwrite instance data. There isn't a plan for a UI backup feature currently.

As per the https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/self-hosting/update notes it mentions to 'backup your server' which is a link to https://gist.github.com/Meldiron/47b5851663668102a676aff43c6341f7 which should give some ideas. I haven't used it myself yet, but would be where I'd look first.

I am also interested in this. I hosted appwrite via coolify which has a build in way to backup the coolify stuff into an external s3 storage

The docs only discripe the local backup and go over the s3 part with a simple: "For S3/GCS/Azure storage, use your provider's native backup tools."

So I want to backup the whole Appwrite instance data onto a s3 server and pull it out if I need to. Has anybody has ever done that?

Also: Is there any plan to make the backup part into a UI thing?
