Backup and Restore
Add an option for web backup and restore that allows you to back up to an external directory. (SFTP/TFTP or something like that)
Hello,
Please provide more details on what you want exactly using the template of feature request.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. it's not a problem, it's an improvement
Describe the solution you'd like Add an option for web backup and restore that allows you to back up to an external directory. (SFTP/TFTP or something like that)
Describe alternatives you've considered Today the PacketFence allow only backup and restore local and via CLI
Additional context With this functionality, we will be able to have the backup saved on an external disk if the machine crashes and will facilitate the backup and restore
It's already possible to backup to an external directory using CLI, you need to override value of variable BACKUP_DIR through environment variable:

However, I agree that we should support:
- backup from web admin (and ability to download resulting backups)
- restore from web admin
But I think it makes more sense to support export/import mechanism in web admin.
Hi @nqb and @julsemaan
How are you? I hope you're well.
I see this feature has been removed from version 12.0, do you have a new feature preview?
The milestone setting came from a bad habit we had of always putting a milestone and then pushing it forward if it didn't make it into the roadmap. Now, we leave the milestone out until it makes it into the roadmap.
I don't foresee this making it into our short-term roadmap although it is indeed a good idea.
