oh well losing all data after bad server crashes seem to be a known issue with #DAVx5 + #radicale.

https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale/discussions/1574

fortunately nobody has any good solution ๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿฅด

even just backing up the server files is not super helpful bc
a) it's nontrivial to actually run a new installation with an old DB and
b) it might just sync to the clients as "delete all that server doesn't know about"

Lost calendar, address, tasks after server crash ยท Kozea Radicale ยท Discussion #1574

So happen that our Proxmox LXC containers all shutdown unexpectedly. Bad stuff. Then realise all users' Radicale data is gone: addresses, calendar events, tasks/reminders. I'll need to backup Radic...

@blitter at least at a glance, this reads like a skill issue on the admin side.
The software probably works fine.
Have you bumped into this issue yourself?
@Schlaf not yet
I just wanna figure out how to make backups of the server in a way that is actually useful later on
@blitter they claim the software "Stores all data on the file system in a simple folder structure." in the readme.
So just copying that directory somewhere every once in a while should do the trick.
