Hi, I want to make a complete backup of my nextcloud instance including users files. I am running a raspi 4, dietpi and the latest nextcloud. Is there a way to do this? I would like to be able to set it to backup every night to an external drive connected to the pi? Or if all else fails to a cloud…

I found backup to be hard until I discovered lxc. What I mean by that is trying to backup your sql database, apps, settings etc. is complicated and I never really got that to work. User files is fairly easy, but I wanted EVERYTHING backed up. And now, I do! And it’s dead easy. All i do is run m…

Do you know this fantastic search function of this forum, which allows to find answers on questions instead of asking the same question again and again? https://help.nextcloud.com/search?q=full%20backup

Never heard of it mate. Edit: also what you’ve linked to does not answer my question. Instead or just jumping on the snarky “have tried search” schtick maybe consider that I have tried and none of my questions were answered.

Ok, then I assume that you’ve already read the administrator documentation which contains a separate backup chapter ?!

Correct again. Have you read my question? And what I am specifically looking for? A way to backup everything including files, that will run periodically overnight to an external drive.

Hi Andrew, [image] wizlon: I found backup to be hard This is hugely helpful! Thanks for taking the time and your detailed response. I’ve never heard of lxc bit will look into it now. I think your setup does exactly what I want to do so this is perfect!

Hah. You’re welcome. if you running on Linux (an ubuntu flavor) then sudo apt install lxd gets you the package. It’s not difficult to configure, just a little work. This site is a great resource for lxc/lxd: https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/ The only bummer is having to “re-install” Nextclo…

Maybe this could help, too? [image] Nextcloud-Backup-Restore Bash scripts for backup/restore of Nextcloud
