dir-localdumps = /var/iml-backup

dir-localdumps configures the target base directory for dumps. Below are subdirectories for the database type. In those are the dumps containing name of database scheme and a timestamp. All dumps are gzip compressed.
keep-days contains an integer for the days to keep database dumps locally. Older dumps will be removed.
📑 Profiles
There are a few ini files in plugins/localdump/profiles/ that autodetect local databases using standard ports, You can create your own ini files to detect a remote database or container. See https://os-docs.iml.unibe.ch/iml-backup/Configuration/Database.html
