Backing Up (and Restoring) a Nextcloud Server

Today, I'll demonstrate how to back up the essential components of your Nextcloud server (including your data.) Then, we'll simulate a server failure, and I'll demonstrate how to restore Nextcloud back onto your server.

I had no idea SFTP was built on SSH, insanely useful to know thanks!

Thank you for this great tutorial. You helped me a lot. One small addition: nextcloud's cron job has to be setup to work correctly

Hi Mate. Great Video. you are very thorough and explain each step with all other possibilities. i followed your original video and installed nextcloud which is running really well.
Your videos have enough information which, combined together, really helps put pieces of the puzzle together and allowed me to manage and fix things here and there. Thanks a lot.
Next step is to install only office and then i'll invite all my classmates to do combined study sessions over my nextcloud. all thanks to you.

Thanks for your video, was able to migrate my nextcloud from an raspberry pi 3 to an decomissioned HP ProLiant DL380 server running ESXi. You are the man of the day, cheers dude!

Jacob, you are just the kindest! I`ll watch this as soon as I get back home so that I can take notes. Big thanks going your way. I want to wish you a happy new year as I hope to see you around in 2020 as well!

This seems like a lot of effort. I thought NextCloud had built-in tools to make full backups, a data only backup and incremental data backups..

How would I do the sql backup if I was doing a Snap installation?

[peter]

how do restore just the data? not the configuration for nextcloud? i want to build a new server with fresh configuration files and then restore the data/apps/themes?

Hi Jacob, possible to have tutorial video how to backup and restore nextcloud on freenas?

[prakhargoel]

Hi Jacob, thanks for the video. How can I setup a "continuous" backup of data files? Since data files keep changing throughout the day, I would want a copy of my nextcloud server data (on digitalocean) to be continuously synced and backed up on my local computer.

Hey! Perfect video. How have you configured your "jelly" windows and terminal transparencies? Thanks in advance

I noticed some step might have been skiped, in 15:47 under site-available there's 3 files but in 17:47 in the same directory there's totally different files, but I don't see steps in between how you got there.

what if i had 1TB of data, is this method reliable? compress all data, is there any way to do full backup without hassle?

I really appreciate your Videos 😊 I run Nextcloud on Hyper-v, I had everything just about right with Nextcloud running for at least a week when it produced an Internal server error, lesson learned .
I have installed Nextcloud 7or 8 times just learning the hard way of what not to do.
In my case would just using windows server backup be an easier solution?

Latest stable version: 18.0.0. Will your video on Ubuntu 18.04 and Nextcloud 17 work together? Perhaps not your last video on Nextcloud. What I am looking for is something along the lines of using Nextcloud on a local server, having clients use Duplicati to upload to the Nextcloud using WebDav. How about something like that for a video please.

Your videos are awesome. I have my own server and host nextcloud on it on a subdomain. However just recently I can not longer access my nextcloud server on my sub domian address. The only thing i have done recently was delete a redirect from the primary domain. Do you or does anybody know why this would stop access to my install of nextcloud via my subdomain?
