Omit database dump when doing gitea-dump

[snakers4]

Feature Description

Gitea dump docs say the following:

Inside the gitea-dump-1482906742.zip file, will be the following:
...
gitea-db.sql - SQL dump of database
gitea-repo.zip - Complete copy of the repository directory.

I use a slightly modified gitea Dockerfile with a local folder as an attached volume and an external database:

        volumes:
            - /home/snakers4/gitea:/data
            - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
            - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro

So, I have a question / feature proposal:

• Can database dump be omitted during gitea-dump?
• Can gitea be backed by just stopping it and backing up the database and the /data folder separately?

Looks like a duplicate of: #28720 which has been resolved by @kemzeb adding a --skip-db argument.

But I'm also interested by the idea of "just stopping it and backing up the database and the /data folder separately" answer.

#28720 did that like @JulienPalard said.

Can gitea be backed by just stopping it and backing up the database and the /data folder separately?

Yes for the standard installation from docker.

I think this issue could be closed. Please feel free to reopen it if you have any further problem.
