So. I have four Discourse forums. I like to download my backups daily, for each. In each case, I must navigate to the “backups” page, click on the download link, switch over to my e-mail program, wait for the message to arrive, and click on the link that’s provided? Every day?

I understand the need for security (and that’s one reason I don’t use SSO at all!), but this sucks.

Given this convoluted workflow, is there some way that I could easily bypass _all_ of this and automatically download the most recent backup for each of my sites daily?
