Backup/synchronize to OneDrive, Tresorit, SMB, Webdav, Nextcloud, FTP, self-hosted servers, etc
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently we have 3 backup/sync options:
- none
- iCloud
- local backup (coming soon)
It would be nice to have and option to backup/restore from a self-hosted server.
Describe the solution you'd like An option to backup/sync to a self-hosted or other server
Describe alternatives you've considered Local backup when it is available but that seems like a manual process to store on a server i control.
Good idea. What kind of protocol would you prefer to use for backup to a self-hosted server?
Honestly, i'm not sure. It could be as straightforward as backing up to a nextcloud instance. whatever is easiest. As long as the backup is encrypted locally with the master password I think anything would be fine. For me personally, being able to send an encrypted backup to my nextcloud instance on a periodic basis would suffice (assuming restoring would be as simple as getting the backup from my nextcloud instance and loading it into this fantastic app).
nextcloud uses webdav
I would say either the SFTP or WebDAV protocol gives the most flexibility to those that want to backup outside of iCloud.
i have a idea: save the database as json (or other text file), and it can be saved on onedrive, sftp, and more. Sync the database by Onedrive, others can develop clients on other platforms easily.
