How can I backup my umbrel node?

Just posting to +1 the idea of an official backup utility for Umbrel. I’m currently running Umbrel as a Hyper-V VM under Windows 11 and I’ve been dumbfounded by how shoddy the native and third-party backup utilities are for Hyper-V VMs. Nothing that’s really good for individual/home use. Basically, all these utilities are crappy at managing snapshots etc. and end up eating all the storage space on my VM drive, causing my Umbrel VM to shut down and fail to start again until I deal with it.

That is to say, an official backup utility would make my life infinitely easier!

Can you publish the chat here? Did you try to recover?

It was awhile ago…but I did eventually get it back up and running; the issue was my SSD, but I was able to get the files I needed to get my funds back

I believe that this is a high priority feature for the team at the moment (see Mayank’s response to a comment here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rBFkhfvwtw).

It’s been high priority for 2 years (?)

The video was uploaded 2 months ago, so I think it’s still very much at the top of their minds right now.
