Hello, I recently setup Nextcloud with Ubuntu 16.04. Enabled default encryption on all my files. And I am going to setup automatic backup to Amazon S3 of all my data files. But there is a problem. How can I access these files if my main server goes down? The files are encrypted…
Any idea on setup? Thanks! 
You can’t access them directly. You need to restore your complete NC setup including the database. There is no manual decryption or recovery script.
Ok.
So if I setup a cron for my datafolder, my main folder for Nextcloud and a backup for my nextcloud database I would be able to recover my files?
Just by setup my old files?
That is also done. That should be enough, right?
Should be. I have seen a couple of recovery nightmares with encryption, so please test your recovery procedure.
Allright. Thanks alot
