As a user, I would like to be able to automatically back up my DB graph from the desktop app in case something happens to my local hard drive. I don't need to access the graph from multiple devices, I just don't want to lose data if my PC hard drive dies.

I don't see a way to change the default file system location used to store the graph, and even if I did I'm not sure that storing an SQL Lite database that is being actively worked on in OneDrive or other cloud storage provider is a good idea.

I haven't built the desktop app, but test.logseq.com has backup features (under the export graph settings). Does the desktop app lack this?

This feature isn't working properly for me right now, but that is a separate issue... #db-chat message

Yeah, the export options are all the same but there's no scheduled backup option 😦

Maybe it's planned to come, but I figured it was worth mentioning here in case it wasn't on the plan.

The git backup is working. Make sure to enable it under advanced settings. And then use cmd+k to go to git commit. And set the first commit
Backup folder: ~/.logseq/git/_Users_me_logseq_graphs_graphName

I still have to test the restore. I have completed the testing of the restore and it is working without an issue.

Scheduled backup to MD would be great, I hope they do it at some time
