Let’s assume our backup server has a folder called “backups”, which of course, you need to create on your BackupServer. So where to start? We first need to mount our BackupServer folder on our NextCloud server. For both servers, wbe use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS in this example. What do we want to achieve? We want to create Backups on NextCloudServer and move them to our BackupServer. NextCloudServer = Our NextCloud server, obviously. Step 6 (OPTIONAL) – Using individual file names The Scenario.Step 1 – Setting NextCloud to Maintenance Mode.I’ll give you an option that doesn’t overwrite the existing backup but creates each backup individually with dates, too. We will do this the easiest way possible, with no data deduplication, no incremental backup, simply creating a tar.gz file of our most important data and moving it over to the backup server, overwriting the existing one, using Cron.

Today I show you how to Backup NextCloud and how to move your files to another server. If you run an instance of the popular Data Cloud NextCloud, you probably want a way to back up your data too.
