Backing up Nextcloud
====================
To backup an Nextcloud installation there are four main things you need to retain:
#. The config folder
#. The data folder
#. The database
#. The theme folder
Backup Folders
--------------
Simply copy your config, data and theme folders (or even your whole Nextcloud install and data folder) to a place outside of
your Nextcloud environment. You could use this command::
rsync -Aax nextcloud/ nextcloud-dirbkp_`date +"%Y%m%d"`/
Backup Database
---------------
.. warning:: Before restoring a backup see :doc:`restore`
MySQL/MariaDB
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
MySQL or MariaDB, which is a drop-in MySQL replacement, is the recommended
database engine. To backup MySQL/MariaDB::
mysqldump --lock-tables -h [server] -u [username] -p[password] [db_name] > nextcloud-sqlbkp_`date +"%Y%m%d"`.bak
SQLite
^^^^^^
::
sqlite3 data/owncloud.db .dump > nextcloud-sqlbkp_`date +"%Y%m%d"`.bak
PostgreSQL
^^^^^^^^^^
::
PGPASSWORD="password" pg_dump [db_name] -h [server] -U [username] -f nextcloud-sqlbkp_`date +"%Y%m%d"`.bak
