| Description | Call cdn_transfer hooks from the backup system, to possibly copy a backup file to one of the configured CDN services. This is effectively automated off-site backup.
(e.g. to Dropbox, if #1392 is implemented) The CDN transfer hooks decide, based on paths, what would syndicate. So it would be configured by having exports/backups in the path. Probably that should be a default. Consider also stripping out the direct support the backup system has for backing up to FTP, and make this code into a cdn_transfer hook too. That way anything can benefit from the same system. |

If we want it stored on shared storage, we can do that with NFS already. We just mount it correctly. Even S3 can be mounted using FUSE.
It's best to leave cdn_transfer just for specifically transferring uploads to edge networks / for people who don't have enough disk space for user uploads and cannot set up FUSE.
