@diegogurpegui – 👍 (6 months ago)

Just a simple feature allowing admin users to download a backup of the Database (a SQL dump should be enough). Additionaly, the possibility to restore that database would be great.

Even more so, those backups could be saved in a specific (customizable?) location to allow the admin user to navigate through previous backups and restore them.

This is meant to be a shortcut for admins to avoid accessing the database directly to perform the backup. Just manage everything from the UI.

Ref #31

I added this to the API instead of the App because I don't think this would be an interface. I think it's just an API feature... and we can handle that int he app however we want.

Theoretically, we could make a page extension that pulls in the schema information and exports it to any format we want.

I think it's more useful to have a dedicated /export and /import endpoint though

[benhaynes]

More efficient too... :)
