that’s not what Nextcloud or Nextcloud snap were designed for… see here How to configure Nextcloud snap the first recommendation we make for a successful installation

yeah that’s old and no longer supported… sorry

if that’s an option, be sure to backup your raw data, also consider backing up your database see https://github.com/nextcloud-snap/nextcloud-snap/wiki/Export-and-Import

Depending on the type of failure you’ve experienced, there is a good chance of recovering your data. By default all the stuff you care about is in the /var/snap/nextcloud directory. So just copy the entire directory to another drive or machine. In the worst case you could lose your database, but at least you’ll preserve your raw data. Your data can be found in /var/snap/nextcloud/common/nextcloud/data if you haven’t changed your data directory. See where is my stuff.
