We have methods for automatic backups of the Discourse site https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-automatic-backups-for-discourse/14855 and there are methods for backing up the Admin settings to a YAML file https://meta.discourse.org/t/administrative-bulk-operations/118349#exportimport-all-site-settings-9
It would be nice if the Admin panel could have a setting to simply automatically backup the Admin settings. Especially if it did an automatic backup every time a new setting was changed.
I understand there is a db table that holds these settings (described here https://meta.discourse.org/t/backup-only-site-settings/78150/2 ) which holds these settings, supposedly that would be included in the full site backups, however, it would be a lot more convenient to have copies of the YAML file output as described here https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-can-i-import-export-settings-into-a-file/51496/4 to be saved automatically as a backup file as well, similar to how the container/app.yml is already handled.
Discuss this on our forum.
