Automating backups from Discourse

Continuing the discussion from Backup systems for various projects:

At https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Backups we see there are four API calls related to backups:

  • list backups
  • create backup
  • send download backup email
  • download backup

With those there are a few different approaches I might take, depending on where I want the backup files to end up. Since I will probably download them and store them in a mesh network storage rather than a hosted service, it will probably be easiest to generate the backup and send me a download backup email. :thinking:
