Nextcloud-Backup-Restore
This repository contains two bash scripts for backup/restore of Nextcloud.
It is based on a Nextcloud installation using nginx and MariaDB (see the (German) tutorial Nextcloud auf Ubuntu Server mit nginx, MariaDB, PHP, Let’s Encrypt, Redis und Fail2ban).
Usage
Important
After cloning or downloading the repository, you'll have to edit the scripts so that they represent your current Nextcloud installation (directories, users, etc.)
General information
For a complete backup of any Nextcloud instance, you'll have to backup three items:
- The Nextcloud file directory (usually /var/www/nextcloud)
- The data directory of Nextcloud (it's recommended to locate this not under the web root, so e.g. /var/nextcloud_data)
- The Nextcloud database
The scripts take care of these three items to backup automatically.
Backup
In oder to create a backup, simplly call the script NextcloudBackup.sh on your Nextcloud machine. This will create a direcotry with the current time stamp in your main backup directory (you already edited the script so that it fits yout Nextcloud installation, haven't you): As an example, this would be /mnt/Share/NextcloudBackups/20170910_132703.
Restore
For restore, just call NextcloudRestore.sh. This script expects one parameter which is the name of the backup to be restored. In our example, this would be 20170910_132703 (the time stamp of the backup created before). So the full command for a restore would be ./NextcloudRestore.sh 20170910_132703.
