Document a way to manually backup persistent data
We want to have a good backup system for persistent data (#5301). Some
progress has been made on this front since 1.5 years, but it’s unclear
when we can actually implement it. Meanwhile, how about we spend the
smallest possible amount of time documenting how to do such backups by
hand? I’ve been requested that several times recently, and so far
neither users requesting it nor I had realized that… most of the work is
already done in wiki/src/doc/first_steps/persistence/copy.mdwn :)
So it seems that a low-hanging fruit, with a pretty good cost/benefit
ratio, is waiting to be picked: we could expand a little bit the scope
of that page existing page, just enough to satisfy this additional use
case (that I can specify more clearly if needed), and then link it from
wiki/src/doc/first_steps/persistence.mdwn in a way that makes users
aware of it.
What do you think?
