Issue created Feb 06, 2017 by intrigeri@intrigeriMaintainer

Document a way to manually backup persistent data

Originally created by @intrigeri on #12214 (Redmine)

We want to have a good backup system for persistent data (#5301 (closed)). Some progress has been made on this front since 1.5 years, but it’s unclear when we can actually implement it. Meanwhile, how about we spend the smallest possible amount of time documenting how to do such backups by hand? I’ve been requested that several times recently, and so far neither users requesting it nor I had realized that… most of the work is already done in wiki/src/doc/first_steps/persistence/copy.mdwn :)

So it seems that a low-hanging fruit, with a pretty good cost/benefit ratio, is waiting to be picked: we could expand a little bit the scope of that page existing page, just enough to satisfy this additional use case (that I can specify more clearly if needed), and then link it from wiki/src/doc/first_steps/persistence.mdwn in a way that makes users aware of it.

What do you think?
