[Feature request] Automatic export / backup

Open MarcelRobitaille opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Would it be possible to add some feature to export the database on a daily schedule? I would like to sync it to nextcloud or so as a backup.

A simple approach might be for the app to just keep its database somewhere accessible, perhaps something like

/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.prangesoftwaresolutions.audioanchor/audioanchor.db

Then users can just sync that file with Nextcloud/ Syncthing etc. In fact, exporting the database would be unnecessary, or could just copy the file somewhere.

Another option: another app I used put a DB file in the root of each library directory, I think hidden, as .appname.db. I suspect that's a bigger change though, keeping separate DBs per folder.

An option for a daily backup sounds cool, but given a lot of other issues and that I rarely get to work on the AudioAnchor these days, I doubt I'll implement this anytime soon, sorry. I'll think about storing the database somewhere more accessible.
