Automatic Backup on Nextcloud

[jtvdw]

Hi,

How can I configure a configuration or the option with the content as well to be backup automatically in nextcloud version 17.

I have to run the backup manually if I want 1.

I also saw that you can configure a backup on the installation via cPanel but that’s not what I want.

Thanks.

My script method that I started using more than a decade ago on a FreeBSD/Samba server is from

http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/
His page (dated 2004!) will give you some good information and scripts.

Basically running a cron job of a rsnyc script.
You can search internet for rsync and cron from other authors.

Running a daily cron job, I have a 9 day rotating, hard linked incremental backup on a different hard drive/partition. I also manually archived past years (going back to 2006) for off site storage.

Hope that helps get you started.

rsnyc script

Love rsync!

you can use too rsnapshot (rsync+snapshot), duplicity (rsync + snapshot too) or restic (secure snapshot)
3 tools easy to use into script or console!

I’ll have to take a look at your suggestions.

I’ve used my script successfully for so long that I tend to be a bit of a curmudgeon about changing.
