Looking for a best way to take backup of the bookmarks incase if my VPS got deleted

Hi, whats the most preferrable way of backing uo?

Hello @thecodingwizardx! A good question.

The ability to export bookmarks is currently in the backlog. But even without it, there's still some room to implement your own backup mechanism as, by default, the Grimoire stores all its data in a single directory (DB + images). Let me give you some propositions:

• Automate your backup using Restic: a battle-tested solution I'm using myself (with BackBlaze B2 storage, but there's many more to choose from). [GitHub] [Guide for AWS S3]
• Attach backup sidekick container with docker-volume-backup: powerful and easy to deploy automatic backups. [GitHub] [Examples]
• Use Docker's in-build backup tool: with a single command, that you can use with e.g. cron to schedule it, you could use a shell command like docker run --rm -v grimoire_data:/volume -v $(pwd):/backup alpine tar -czvf /backup/grimoire_backup.tar.gz -C /volume ./ to create a single backup file.

I'll create a note for myself to write down some actual guide on how to do this for Grimoire's docs. Please don't hesitate to share your findings on this topic as it may benefit us all :)

PS I will move this to discussions.
