Comment (by robe):

 I have setup nextcloud-ubuntu, download, new-secure, nginx to do daily
 snapshots and to expire the snapshots 30 days after creation.  The
 schedule snapshot I had done weeks ago but just put in the the expiry.
 We could set it up at the profile level, but I feel a lot of containers
 don't need frequent backups - e.g. collabora only changes when I do an
 upgrade.  Dronie-server is mostly the sqlite database that has the history
 is worth recuring backup, though I guess snapthoting it daily won't hurt
 since the snapshots do a diff of previous snapshot so would be light
 anyway.

 Here is an example of setting backup (this one is for new-secure)


 {{{
 #sets to snbapshot daily at 5:15 PM
 lxc config set new-secure snapshots.schedule "15 17 * * *"

 #set snapshots newly created to expire in 30 days (must conform to this
 regex) ^(\d+)(M|H|d|w|m|y)$
 lxc config set new-secure snapshots.expiry "30d"
 }}}


 I want to discuss in our next meeting the bacula setup as I don't think
 all containers need to have a bacula-fd agent so thinking along the lines
 of copying say postgresql backups and so forth to osge7 host with a cron
 job (which I started creating) osgeo7 would have a bacula agent that picks
 these up.
