Ok, I have now published my backup plugin with which I create my Joplin backups under Windows (But I hope it also runs under other operating systems).

Hello, I installed backup pugin and for now is worked. I´ll keep using, but I´m thinking that a really usefull feature is encryption option. Do you think that this option could be implemented ?. Thanks

Hello, Yes I did in this way and worked. I use Veracrypt. Thanks

I tried to use the plugin with the OSX client. I can't find the correct path to save the backup. Does anyone have an example for OSX?

@Jannock You can enter ever path in unix style like /data/joplin_backup.

I have no Mac, but I think your docs folder is in your user folder. /users/<USERNAME>/Docs/joplin/backupbut the path must exist, the plugin do not create the folders! But I mean to remember, that in the context menue (click on folder or file) there is a copy path option.

Thanks very much, that was the trick (right click on folder name, push 'option' and you can select 'copy the full path' in the popup menu).

Any way to add a password to encrypt backups? Even if just in a zip file?

Is in planning, but due to a bug #5072 the version is suspended for the time being until it is fixed.
