I There team, I am a a keen users of concrete5 and have done quite a few sites for people. There have been a few issues along the way, but i am still very happy with the support and the program and its getting better.

I on the other hand have noticed that, I run my own cloud hosted servers, which are indeed set to do daily data folder backups. And I regular do DB backups from both inside concrete and server side.

How ever one of my bigger sites which I have just done a manual backup before I tried a concrete5 update. (just in case)

And I have noticed that the DB file is now up two 19MB which fair enough. But when I do a HTML site backup it comes out at 962 MB which is huge. And gzip tar doesn't do much more.

I think this is a Little big? This is the biggest of my sites to date and does contain hundreds of pages of articles/content.

Any who.. to the point.. my request is .. could there be a backup add on which backups your content and not the standard concrete5 folders and extra stuff. So the backup can be restored to a fresh install, other than backing up information I don't need?

As the site is growing daily and in another year I have a bad feeling the site is going to be in the gigs? and making off site backup very expensive and time consuming.


Thank you for any advise...

Kind regards
