CloudDump 0.1: Sending Evolution CMS Backups to the Cloud
A small utility for creating a local backup, uploading it to cloud storage, and optionally removing the server copy afterward.
CloudDump 0.1 captured a useful backup pattern in a reusable form: create the backup inside the project, copy it to cloud storage, and decide whether the local server copy should remain or be removed after upload.
That made it especially attractive for smaller hosting setups where disk space was limited but off-site retention was still essential.
Why Tools Like This Helped
- they reduced the number of custom backup scripts each team had to maintain
- they made cron-based backup routines easier to standardize
- they pushed the ecosystem toward safer operational defaults
