manuell deleting backups that are no longer needed

[Berni-MD]

I don't have access to the installation because I am using a hosted nextcloud. Since my storage space is not unlimited, I have to clean up a bit.

Therefore 3 questions:

1. If I remove the app, will the backups be removed as well?
2. Deleting older backups from the web interface would be a good idea.
3. Where exactly are the backups stored? In the App directory?

Ich habe keinen Zugriff auf die Installation, da ich eine gehostete Nextcloud verwende Da mein Speicherplatz nicht unbegrenz ist, muss ich ein bischen aufräumen.

Daher 3 Fragen: 1.) wenn ich die App entferne, werden dann auch die Backups mit entfernt? 2.) aus der Weboberfläche heraus ältere Backups zu löschen wäre eine gute Idee 3.) Wo genau werden die Backups abgelegt? Im App Verzeichnis?

no

Deleting older backups from the web interface would be a good idea.

good idea, would be nice. I'm open for pull requests ;)

Where exactly are the backups stored? In the App directory?

in the data/ownbackup directory

You can simply remove the backup sub-folders you don't want to keep any more.

Thank you for this app! I am using a hosted NC instance (at Hetzner) with no direct access to the data/ownbackup directory. Is there a way to delete old files? The folder is getting quite big… :)

[pbek]

No, sorry. Pull requests welcome. 😁

Still nothing from the UI (which should be fine for everyone having direct access to datadir/ownbackup folder).
