🔖 Feature description

It looks like the export feature exports all monitors and alerts, but skips dashboards. I just migrated my instance and while the monitors and the alerts migrated nicely, I had to remake my dashboards which wasn't the end of the world, but would be nice to include in the backup

✔️ Solution

Ideally, the dashboards would be exported in the JSON backup along with everything else.

❓ Alternatives

I was able to rebuild my dashboards without too much effort, but this would make the backup itself more complete in my mind in terms of preserving configuration.

I think this is a duplicate of #1500
If you agree, could you please close this Issue, as duplicates only create immortal zombies and are really hard to issue-manage?
If not, what makes this issue unique enough to require an additional issue? (Could this be integrated into the issue linked above?) ^^

Obsolete as the backup feature has been dropped in #3892.

Chiming in with a more in-depth explainaition:

Please see #2141 (comment)

In 1.18.3, the backup feature was deprecated due to [being left] unmaintained.

Backup & Restore with JSON has been deprecated and issues will not be fixed due to the amount of problems it has been causing for our users and us.
The current design is just not maintainable, causing countless bugs.
In v2.0 the deprecated backup tool is being removed because of this reason.
Please consider using SQL, API based¹ or infrastructure based² backup instead.

New approaches to these features should use SQLite dump or MariaDB dump respectively. (Here is our contribution guide)
