I like data

I like data: weather, energy-usage, energy-production, water-usage etc etc.
Homey collects these, displays them in beautiful graphs and lets me download the data by hand. Yesterday however, I was playing with Homey and didn't hear her counting down from ten to one so she went into recovery. All my data was lost
Wouldn't it be great to be able to backup the data automagically? Every app could write it's own functions (judging the dev-docs) to transfer the data to an ftp-server but better would be (imho) to extend insights to be able to handle this backup-functions so an app can either put this on ftp or store the data in a sql-server (quite some people have mariadb available on synology). Any thoughts?

there is an API available to push data to this environment. Not sure yet what the best way would be to trigger this from within homey
Did anyone find a solution to this? Syncing the db with dropbox seems perfect to me. An import function for a resetted homey is necessary in this case I guess.
