Hey,
would be glad to get feedback on this. As I'm planning to work on
backup/restore for my Ansible scripts anyway I could also contribute to
the gnuhealth-control command meanwhile.
In addition to the last mail: For the database I think of saving at least:
- a database dump
- configuration files postgresql.conf, pg_hba.conf and maybe more / the
whole folder

Hey,
I was wondering if the way backups are managed with gnuhealth-control
could be improved.
Currently there are three archives generated from:
- database
- home directory
- database & home directory together
First of all we could consider differentiating application and
database as those could be on different systems. Thus we could split
the option "backup" into "backup-database" and "backup-application".
Regarding the backup of the application I think we should not just
copy the home directory and every python library. What I guess is
necessary to backup is:
- Server version
- List of activated modules (how to get this?)
- Attachment folder
- Configuration file(s)
What could be useful as well:
- OS version
- pip freeze
- systemd file
What do you think about it?
