Thanks for the reply 🙂

I think we’d need an automated way to back up just data - and somewhere accessible on the server so we could rsync the uploads directory off server for a complete back up.

I still think an option to allow reduction of quality size of images would be handy - there’s rarely a need for a forum to host large high quality images, especially of things like screengrabs.
