My YunoHost server

Hardware: VPS bought online
YunoHost version: 11.2.22 (stable)
I have access to my server : Yes I have through all methods (SSH, WebAdmin etc)
Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ? : no
If yes, please explain:

Description of my issue

Hello, I am trying to backup my server and the way I’m doing this is by using rsync.
Basically I have about 50gb of data on an external harddisk. Since yunohost doesnt backup data from this harddisk, I need to manually backup this data.

So one thing I want to do before I backup is turn off yunohost (if there is such a thing)

I am not sure if there’s any single command that I can run like yunohost shutdown that would shutdown the yunohost server but not my VPS server itself.

If you have any suggestions, that would be helpful thank you!

Such command does not exist, YunoHost never stops running. :stuck_out_tongue:

If you want you can stop as many services as you want in the webadmin, and finish by the command line with systemctl stop yunohost-api nginx.

Afterwards you can restart them again with systemctl start yunohost-api nginx and restart the other services from the restarted webadmin.

sudo yunohost tools shutdown to shutdown the server but this will shutdown the vps.
But why do you need to shutdown the server to backup an external device? Why is yunohost unable to backup that data?

By the way there is a new app in the yunohost catalog
