I,
Is there a occ command I can use to make a backup of user’s datas ( user-migration-format) , before deleting them. So that I can restore the few of them that will ask it ?
You need to install this app:
| App-Id | user_migration |
| App-Name | User migration |
| Summary | Migrate user data |
| Categories | tools |
| Repository | https://github.com/nextcloud/user_migration |
| Issue-Tracker | Issues · nextcloud/user_migration · GitHub |
| Developer-Doc. | User migration — Nextcloud latest Developer Manual latest documentation |
| App-Version | 4.0.1 |
| - NC min/max | 27 / 27 |
| App-Version | 5.0.0 |
| - NC min/max | 28 / 28 |
| Not-shipped (not included) App available in appstore | |
| Appstore | User migration - Apps - App Store - Nextcloud |
That provides the occ commands
user:export Export a user.
user:import Import a user.
Much and good luck,
ernolf

Thanks, it works …
And is there an option forchoosing what we want to export, as in the migration config page. Here I should not export the user’s files, that are included by default in the export, and take most of the space.
Maybe my question was not so clear in english …
Is there an option for the previous occ command “user:export” so that user’s files are not included in the exported file ?
Didn’t you read the help? 
user@box:~# occ user:export --help

low on storage space)

That means that you must pass a comma separated list of types you want to export or “none” if you only want to export the basic user data.
Here an example where the Profile information ‘account’ (together with the basic user data, which are allways exported) from a user “Steph” is exported into a previous created folder “UserExport” in the space of user “admin”:
user@box:~# occ user:export --types=account Steph "/nc/dat/data/admin/files/UserExport/"
Exporting user information in user.json…
Exporting settings in settings.json…
Exporting versions in versions.json…
Exporting account information in settings/account.json…
Exporting profile config in settings/config.json…
Export saved in /nc/dat/data/admin/files/UserExport/Steph_2024-03-18_19-26-57.zip
After you did the export, you should scan the file, to add it to the filecache (to make it visible from within your cloud):
user@box:~# occ files:scan -p "/admin/files/UserExport/"
Starting scan for user 1 out of 1 (admin)

I did not found the help 
I have no more time to deal with that in the few next weeks, Your answer will still be usefull 
After testing the commande for one user, I will also have to make a script for doing that for a list of users, a group, or a circle 
Thanks for your answers …
