1. Move to gancio path

cd /opt/gancio/ # or where your installation is

1. Backup PostgreSQL (only required for non-docker PostgreSQL installation)

sudo -u postgres pg_dump -Fc gancio > gancio.dump

1. Archive database, configuration, custom user locales, logs, images and thumbnails

sudo tar -czf gancio-$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S)-backup.tgz  \
  $(ls -d config.json uploads user_locale db.sqlite gancio.dump postgres data db logs 2> /dev/null)

info "Automatic backup" To periodically backup your data you should probably use something like restic or borg
