Backup script improvement proposal about ot-node HOT 4 CLOSED

That's a great idea.

One thing to mention some users might not like zip (and prefer 7z), or maybe AWS is not their preferred storage vendor. So adding things is great, but let's also keep an option for the most basic backup process, where script just saves the required content to a backup folder within a container (same as today).

Looking at the code it seems that the AWS script should remove the backup from the node server, we'll test this and see what should be changed if it's not doing that correctly.

I did some backups, the local backup is indeed successfully deleted, so that item 3. is no longer valid.
Also a great point that some people do not want to zip it, so maybe include a second modified script which also zips the file before upload. Zipping data saves 40-50% of the file size, which would result in cheaper AWS costs.

This issue is not relevant because it was for v5 and current version of OT-node is v6.
