App data backup12/15/2023 ![]() How do you suggest the developer determine which files is ok to be changed and which are not? As I said earlier if you don't care about files being changed why do the backup at all? Isn't that what the backup is for, an exact copy of your files? I don't mean to be condescending but most users are not smart. In many cases yes, but what about those other cases and the important files which can change? In many cases those services are configured and running, what changes is nothing important but just logfiles One would imagine all Internet services were being shut down at "night" for their backup jobs to run. It would just be different files on the source/destination. Or you can, but the backup would not be a backup anymore. And you can't backup files that are in use/being written to. Like windows can't update without shutting down because the files needing updates are in use. Like maybe get yourself a pi that can run 24/7 and run pihole (or whatever is taking down your internet) on that.Ī backup is much like an update. If you can't live without internet for 30 min you have to look at other solutions. Just schedule the backup when no one is using the internet (at night when everyone is sleeping maybe). What is the point of having a backup where the files backed up are not complete? There is no use in having a half complete backup. Sure you can ignore it, but then you might as well not do the back up at all. You can't back up files that are in use, as they can change at any second. ![]() I have been forced to turn off my dockers for the duration of backup job, which takes my Internet down for atleast 30 minutes.
