I need to make a backup system for my rails app but this has to be a little special: It doesn’t have to back up all the database info and files in a single file or folder but it has to back up the database info and attachment files per user. I mean, every one of this backups should be able to regenerate all the information and files for one single user.

My questions are:
Is this possible? What’s the best way to do it? And, if it’s impossible or a bad idea at all, why is it?

Note: The database is a MySQL one.
Note2: I used Paperclip for the users uploads.

    Im guessing you have an app that backs up data, when a user clicks on something right? I’m thinking get all the info connected to the user(depends on how you did your user model, so maybe you should have a get_all_info method) then write it out in sql format to a file, which you save as .sql. (either using File.new or Logger.new)
