## What Gets Backed Up?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
✅ **All Nextcloud files** - Documents, photos, videos, etc.
|
||||||
|
✅ **Database** - All settings, users, sharing info
|
||||||
|
✅ **Compressed** - Smaller files = lower costs
|
||||||
|
✅ **Incremental** - Only changed files daily (faster)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Backup Schedule
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Default: **Daily at 2 AM**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To change time, edit: `/etc/systemd/system/nextcloud-backup.timer`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then: `sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl restart nextcloud-backup.timer`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Storage Costs (Backblaze B2)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Typical Nextcloud: 100GB
|
||||||
|
After compression: ~30-40GB
|
||||||
|
**Monthly cost: $0.18-0.24**

b2 list-file-names nextcloud-backups nextcloud-backups/ | jq
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Download
|
||||||
|
b2 download-file-by-id nextcloud-backups <FILE_ID> ./db-backup.sql.zst
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Restore
|
||||||
|
zstd -d db-backup.sql.zst -c | mysql -u root -p nextcloud
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Restore Files
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Download
|
||||||
|
b2 download-file-by-id nextcloud-backups <FILE_ID> ./files-backup.tar.zst
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Extract
|
||||||
|
mkdir /tmp/restore && tar --zstd -xf files-backup.tar.zst -C /tmp/restore
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Copy back
|
||||||
|
cp -r /tmp/restore/srv/docker/nextcloud/data/* /srv/docker/nextcloud/data/
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Troubleshooting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Backup fails immediately
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Check logs
|
||||||
|
sudo tail -100 /opt/nextcloud-backup/.backups/logs/backup_*.log
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Check B2 auth
|
||||||
|
b2 account-info
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Verify paths
|
||||||
|
sudo ls -la /srv/docker/nextcloud/data
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### B2 authentication error
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Clear cached auth
|
||||||
|
rm ~/.b2_account_info
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Re-authenticate
|
||||||
|
b2 authorize-account YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID YOUR_APP_KEY
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Timer not running
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Check status
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl status nextcloud-backup.timer
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Enable it
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl enable nextcloud-backup.timer
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl start nextcloud-backup.timer
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Disk space issues
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Check backup dir size
|
||||||
|
du -sh /opt/nextcloud-backup/.backups
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Reduce retention (fewer days to keep)
|
||||||
|
# Edit: /opt/nextcloud-backup/.env
|
||||||
|
# BACKUP_RETENTION_DAYS=14
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Security Best Practices
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Protect B2 credentials** - Limit access to `/etc/nextcloud-backup/`
|
||||||
|
2. **Monitor B2 activity** - Check console monthly for unusual uploads
|
||||||
|
3. **Test restores** - Practice restoring monthly
|
||||||
|
4. **Rotate keys** - Generate new B2 keys annually
|
||||||
|
5. **Keep logs** - Monitor for errors in `/opt/nextcloud-backup/.backups/logs/`

## 📊 Daily Operations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Daily Monitoring
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Check backup ran last night:
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
sudo journalctl -u nextcloud-backup.service -n 1 --since "24 hours ago"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Look for "SUCCESS" messages
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Check file sizes in B2
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Weekly Tasks
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Review backup logs:
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
sudo ls -lh /opt/nextcloud-backup/.backups/logs/
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Check B2 console for cost estimates
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Verify no error patterns in logs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Monthly Tasks
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Test restore procedure (practice!)
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Check B2 account for any issues
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Review retention policy (still appropriate?)
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Monitor costs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 🔄 Restore Testing (IMPORTANT!)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Practice Database Restore
|
||||||
|
- [ ] List available backups:
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
b2 list-file-names nextcloud-backups nextcloud-backups/ | grep "db"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Download a database backup:
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
b2 download-file-by-id nextcloud-backups <FILE_ID> ~/test-db.sql.zst
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Verify it decompresses:
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
zstd -t ~/test-db.sql.zst
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
- [ ] (DON'T actually restore, just verify it works)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Practice File Restore
|
||||||
|
- [ ] List available file backups:
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
b2 list-file-names nextcloud-backups nextcloud-backups/ | grep "files"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Download one:
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
b2 download-file-by-id nextcloud-backups <FILE_ID> ~/test-files.tar.zst
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Verify it extracts:
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
tar --zstd -tf ~/test-files.tar.zst | head -20
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|

## Security Implementation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
✅ **Credentials Management**
|
||||||
|
- B2 API key stored in `/etc/nextcloud-backup/b2-credentials.env`
|
||||||
|
- File permissions: 600 (readable only by root)
|
||||||
|
- Database password in `/opt/nextcloud-backup/.env`
|
||||||
|
- No credentials in logs or script output
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
✅ **Data Protection**
|
||||||
|
- Database backup includes `--single-transaction` flag
|
||||||
|
- Consistent snapshot of data
|
||||||
|
- Encrypted transmission to B2
|
||||||
|
- Temporary files automatically cleaned up
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
✅ **Access Control**
|
||||||
|
- Backup script runs with root privileges (required for DB access)
|
||||||
|
- Systemd service has resource limits
|
||||||
|
- Secure file permissions on all config files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Cost Analysis
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Backblaze B2 Pricing
|
||||||
|
- Storage: $0.006 per GB per month
|
||||||
|
- API calls: $0.0004 per 1000 calls
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Current Backup
|
||||||
|
- Total data: ~1.5 GB
|
||||||
|
- Monthly storage cost: ~$0.01
|
||||||
|
- Estimated annual cost: ~$0.12
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Notes
|
||||||
|
- Incremental backups significantly reduce daily upload sizes
|
||||||
|
- 30-day retention means only 30 backups stored
|
||||||
|
- Compression (40-70% reduction) saves substantial storage costs
|
||||||
|
- Expected monthly cost: **$0.01-0.02**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Backup Strategy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Incremental Backup Logic
|
||||||
|
- Daily backups capture only changed files
|
||||||
|
- Maintains state file for delta detection
|
||||||
|
- Subsequent backups much smaller than first
|
||||||
|
- Intelligent deduplication reduces storage needs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Retention Policy
|
||||||
|
- Keeps 30 days of backups
|
||||||
|
- Automatically deletes backups older than 30 days
|
||||||
|
- Prevents indefinite storage growth
|
||||||
|
- Cost-effective for long-term retention
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Full Backup Option
|
||||||
|
- Manual full backups available on demand
|
||||||
|
- Overrides incremental logic
|
||||||
|
- Useful for complete snapshot recovery
|
||||||
|
- Command: `sudo /opt/nextcloud-backup/nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh full`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Usage Reference

## Troubleshooting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### If Backup Fails
|
||||||
|
1. Check logs: `sudo journalctl -u nextcloud-backup.service -n 100`
|
||||||
|
2. Verify B2 auth: `b2 account-info`
|
||||||
|
3. Test manually: `sudo /opt/nextcloud-backup/nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh`
|
||||||
|
4. Check MySQL: `mysql -u nextcloud -p -e "SELECT 1"`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### If Timer Doesn't Run
|
||||||
|
1. Check timer: `sudo systemctl status nextcloud-backup.timer`
|
||||||
|
2. Enable timer: `sudo systemctl enable nextcloud-backup.timer`
|
||||||
|
3. Start timer: `sudo systemctl start nextcloud-backup.timer`
|
||||||
|
4. Check logs: `sudo journalctl -u nextcloud-backup.timer -n 50`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### If B2 Upload Fails
|
||||||
|
1. Re-authenticate: `b2 authorize-account <ID> <KEY>`
|
||||||
|
2. Verify credentials: `/etc/nextcloud-backup/b2-credentials.env`
|
||||||
|
3. Check bucket: `b2 ls "b2://jg-nextcloud/"`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

# Nextcloud Backup Deployment Guide
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Files to Deploy to Nextcloud VM (192.168.88.62)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All files are ready in `/tmp/nextcloud-backup-deploy/` and need to be transferred to the Nextcloud VM.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Option 1: Copy Files Manually (Recommended)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Step 1: Copy the deployment bundle to Nextcloud VM**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# From your workstation or jump host, copy files to the Nextcloud VM
|
||||||
|
scp -r /tmp/nextcloud-backup-deploy root@192.168.88.62:/tmp/
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Step 2: SSH into Nextcloud VM and run installer**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
ssh root@192.168.88.62
|
||||||
|
cd /tmp/nextcloud-backup-deploy
|
||||||
|
sudo bash install-nextcloud-backup.sh
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Option 2: Copy Individual Files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the above doesn't work, copy files individually:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# On your workstation
|
||||||
|
scp /home/jgitta/nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh root@192.168.88.62:/tmp/
|
||||||
|
scp /home/jgitta/install-nextcloud-backup.sh root@192.168.88.62:/tmp/
|
||||||
|
scp /home/jgitta/nextcloud-backup.service root@192.168.88.62:/tmp/
|
||||||
|
scp /home/jgitta/nextcloud-backup.timer root@192.168.88.62:/tmp/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Then SSH into VM
|
||||||
|
ssh root@192.168.88.62
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Inside VM:
|
||||||
|
cd /tmp
|
||||||
|
chmod +x *.sh
|
||||||
|
sudo bash install-nextcloud-backup.sh
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Option 3: Via Proxmox Host Jump
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If direct SSH doesn't work, use the Proxmox host as a jump:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# From your workstation, use Proxmox host as jump
|
||||||
|
scp -o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p root@192.168.88.25" \
|
||||||
|
/tmp/nextcloud-backup-deploy root@192.168.88.62:/tmp/
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Post-Installation Verification
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After running the installer on the Nextcloud VM:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 1. Verify Configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Check Nextcloud configuration
|
||||||
|
sudo cat /opt/nextcloud-backup/.env
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Check B2 credentials (should show masked)
|
||||||
|
sudo cat /etc/nextcloud-backup/b2-credentials.env
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 2. Test B2 Authentication
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# On Nextcloud VM, test B2 credentials
|
||||||
|
b2 authorize-account 00522b2471e5f090000000002 K005yPezlVJiBoZezpTKx8mNtwG5vfA
|
||||||
|
b2 account-info
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 3. Run Dry-Run Backup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Test backup without uploading
|
||||||
|
sudo DRY_RUN=true /opt/nextcloud-backup/nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Check the output - should show what would be backed up
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 4. Run Real Backup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Perform actual backup (will upload to B2)
|
||||||
|
sudo /opt/nextcloud-backup/nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh incremental
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Monitor progress
|
||||||
|
tail -f /opt/nextcloud-backup/.backups/logs/backup_*.log
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 5. Enable Automation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Enable and start the systemd timer
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl enable nextcloud-backup.timer
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl start nextcloud-backup.timer
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Verify it's scheduled
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl list-timers nextcloud-backup.timer
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl status nextcloud-backup.timer
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Troubleshooting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### B2 Authentication Fails
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Clear cached credentials
|
||||||
|
rm ~/.b2_account_info
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Re-authenticate
|
||||||
|
b2 authorize-account 00522b2471e5f090000000002 K005yPezlVJiBoZezpTKx8mNtwG5vfA
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Check Backup Logs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# View recent backups
|
||||||
|
sudo tail -100 /opt/nextcloud-backup/.backups/logs/backup_*.log
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Check systemd logs
|
||||||
|
sudo journalctl -u nextcloud-backup.service -n 50
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Verify MySQL Access
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Test MySQL connection
|
||||||
|
mysql -u nextcloud -p'Jogiocsi1211+' -e "SELECT 1"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# If this fails, check MySQL is running
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl status mysql

# Nextcloud to Backblaze B2 Automated Backups
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Complete guide for setting up automated periodic backups of your Nextcloud instance to Backblaze B2.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Overview
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This solution provides:
|
||||||
|
- **Incremental & full backups** - Smart backup strategy to minimize data transfer
|
||||||
|
- **Database + files** - Complete Nextcloud backup including database and data
|
||||||
|
- **Automated scheduling** - systemd timer runs daily at 2 AM
|
||||||
|
- **Retention management** - Automatic cleanup of backups older than 30 days
|
||||||
|
- **Compression** - zstd compression to reduce storage costs
|
||||||
|
- **Monitoring** - Status checks and error reporting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Prerequisites
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### System Requirements
|
||||||
|
- Linux host with systemd
|
||||||
|
- Docker & Docker Compose (for Nextcloud)
|
||||||
|
- B2 CLI tool
|
||||||
|
- 10+ GB free disk space for temporary backups
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Backblaze B2 Setup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Create a Backblaze B2 Account** (if not already done)
|
||||||
|
- Sign up at https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. **Create a Bucket**
|
||||||
|
- In B2 console: Create private bucket named `nextcloud-backups` (or your preference)
|
||||||
|
- Note the bucket name
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. **Generate API Credentials**
|
||||||
|
- Go to Account → App Keys → Create Application Key
|
||||||
|
- Recommended settings:
|
||||||
|
- **File names** with prefix: `nextcloud-backups/`
|
||||||
|
- **Access**: Read & Write
|
||||||
|
- **Valid for**: No expiration (or your preference)
|
||||||
|
- Save the `Account ID` and `Application Key`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Nextcloud Setup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You need to identify:
|
||||||
|
- **Nextcloud data path** (usually `/srv/docker/nextcloud/data` or similar)
|
||||||
|
- **Database details**:
|
||||||
|
- Type (MariaDB or PostgreSQL)
|
||||||
|
- Database name (usually `nextcloud`)
|
||||||
|
- Database user (usually `nextcloud`)
|
||||||
|
- Database password
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Step 1: Install B2 CLI
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Install B2 command-line tool
|
||||||
|
pip3 install b2
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Verify installation
|
||||||
|
b2 version
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Step 2: Create Backup Directory
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
sudo mkdir -p /opt/nextcloud-backup
|
||||||
|
sudo mkdir -p /etc/nextcloud-backup
|
||||||
|
sudo chmod 700 /opt/nextcloud-backup
|
||||||
|
sudo chmod 700 /etc/nextcloud-backup
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Step 3: Deploy Backup Scripts
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Copy main backup script
|
||||||
|
sudo cp nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh /opt/nextcloud-backup/
|
||||||
|
sudo chmod +x /opt/nextcloud-backup/nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Copy systemd files
|
||||||
|
sudo cp nextcloud-backup.service /etc/systemd/system/
|
||||||
|
sudo cp nextcloud-backup.timer /etc/systemd/system/
|
||||||
|
sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/nextcloud-backup.*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Reload systemd
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Step 4: Configure Environment
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Create the configuration files:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**File: `/opt/nextcloud-backup/.env`**
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Nextcloud configuration
|
||||||
|
NEXTCLOUD_COMPOSE_DIR=/path/to/nextcloud/docker-compose
|
||||||
|
NEXTCLOUD_DATA_PATH=/srv/docker/nextcloud/data
|
||||||
|
NEXTCLOUD_DB_NAME=nextcloud
|
||||||
|
NEXTCLOUD_DB_USER=nextcloud
|
||||||
|
NEXTCLOUD_DB_PASSWORD=your_db_password_here
|
||||||
|
NEXTCLOUD_CONTAINER=nextcloud
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Backup configuration
|
||||||
|
BACKUP_RETENTION_DAYS=30
|
||||||
|
COMPRESSION=zstd
|
||||||
|
BACKUP_DIR=/opt/nextcloud-backup/.backups
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**File: `/etc/nextcloud-backup/b2-credentials.env`** (root-only, no world-readable)
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Backblaze B2 credentials
|
||||||
|
B2_ACCOUNT_ID=your_account_id_here
|
||||||
|
B2_APPLICATION_KEY=your_application_key_here
|
||||||
|
B2_BUCKET_NAME=nextcloud-backups
|
||||||
|
B2_REGION=us-west-002
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Set secure permissions:
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
sudo chmod 600 /etc/nextcloud-backup/b2-credentials.env
|
||||||
|
sudo chown root:root /etc/nextcloud-backup/b2-credentials.env
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Step 5: Test the Backup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Run a test backup manually:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Test with dry-run first
|
||||||
|
sudo DRY_RUN=true /opt/nextcloud-backup/nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Run actual incremental backup
|
||||||
|
sudo /opt/nextcloud-backup/nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh incremental
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Or full backup
|
||||||
|
sudo /opt/nextcloud-backup/nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh full
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Check backup status
|
||||||
|
sudo /opt/nextcloud-backup/nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh status
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Step 6: Enable Automated Backups
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Enable and start the timer
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl enable nextcloud-backup.timer
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl start nextcloud-backup.timer
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Verify it's active
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl status nextcloud-backup.timer
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# See next scheduled run
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl list-timers nextcloud-backup.timer
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Usage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Manual Backup Commands
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Dry-run (shows what would happen, no actual upload)
|
||||||
|
DRY_RUN=true sudo /opt/nextcloud-backup/nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Incremental backup (only changed files)
|
||||||
|
sudo /opt/nextcloud-backup/nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh incremental
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Full backup (all files)
|
||||||
|
sudo /opt/nextcloud-backup/nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh full
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Check status
|
||||||
|
sudo /opt/nextcloud-backup/nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh status
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### View Backup Logs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Recent backups
|
||||||
|
sudo tail -f /opt/nextcloud-backup/.backups/logs/backup_*.log
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Latest backup status
|
||||||
|
sudo ls -lh /opt/nextcloud-backup/.backups/logs/ | tail -5
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### View Systemd Timer Status
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Timer status
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl status nextcloud-backup.timer
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Last run results
|
||||||
|
sudo journalctl -u nextcloud-backup.service -n 50
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Live monitoring
|
||||||
|
sudo journalctl -u nextcloud-backup.service -f
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Backup Strategy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Incremental vs Full
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Incremental** (default, runs daily):
|
||||||
|
- Only backs up files changed since last backup
|
||||||
|
- Faster, saves bandwidth and storage
|
||||||
|
- Requires full backup to restore
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Full** (recommended weekly):
|
||||||
|
- Backs up all files regardless of changes
|
||||||
|
- Slower but complete snapshot
|
||||||
|
- Standalone restore capability
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Recommended Schedule
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Monday-Saturday: Incremental (02:00 AM)
|
||||||
|
Sunday: Full backup (02:00 AM)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To implement this, modify the `.timer` file's `OnCalendar` line:
|
||||||
|
```ini
|
||||||
|
OnCalendar=Mon-Sat *-*-* 02:00:00
|
||||||
|
OnCalendar=Sun *-*-* 02:00:00
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Monitoring and Alerts
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Check Backup Status
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# List recent backups
|
||||||
|
sudo b2 list-file-names nextcloud-backups nextcloud-backups/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Get total backup size
|
||||||
|
sudo b2 list-file-names nextcloud-backups nextcloud-backups/ | \
|
||||||
|
jq '[.[] | .contentLength] | add | . / 1024 / 1024 / 1024' \
|
||||||
|
echo "Total: $size GB"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Monitor via Systemd
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Check last 10 backup runs
|
||||||
|
sudo journalctl -u nextcloud-backup.service --reverse | head -50
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Count successful vs failed backups
|
||||||
|
sudo journalctl -u nextcloud-backup.service | grep "SUCCESS\|ERROR" | wc -l
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Set up Email Alerts (Optional)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Install and configure `postfix` or `ssmtp`, then add to the backup script:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# On backup failure, send email
|
||||||
|
if ! run_backup; then
|
||||||
|
echo "Nextcloud backup failed at $(date)" | \
|
||||||
|
mail -s "Nextcloud Backup Failed" admin@example.com
|
||||||
|
fi
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Restoring from Backup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### List Available Backups
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
b2 list-file-names nextcloud-backups nextcloud-backups/ | \
|
||||||
|
jq -r '.fileName + " (" + (.contentLength | . / 1024 / 1024 | floor | tostring) + " MB)"'
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Restore Database
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Download database backup
|
||||||
|
b2 download-file-by-id nextcloud-backups \
|
||||||
|
<file-id> ./nextcloud-db-backup.sql.zst
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Restore to database
|
||||||
|
zstd -d nextcloud-db-backup.sql.zst -c | \
|
||||||
|
mysql -u root -p nextcloud
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Or for PostgreSQL:
|
||||||
|
zstd -d nextcloud-db-backup.sql.zst -c | \
|
||||||
|
psql -U postgres nextcloud
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Restore Files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Download file archive
|
||||||
|
b2 download-file-by-id nextcloud-backups \
|
||||||
|
<file-id> ./nextcloud-files-backup.tar.zst
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Extract to temporary location
|
||||||
|
mkdir -p /tmp/nextcloud-restore
|
||||||
|
tar --zstd -xf nextcloud-files-backup.tar.zst -C /tmp/nextcloud-restore
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Review and copy back
|
||||||
|
cp -r /tmp/nextcloud-restore/srv/docker/nextcloud/data/* \
|
||||||
|
/srv/docker/nextcloud/data/
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Troubleshooting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### B2 Authentication Errors
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Clear cached auth
|
||||||
|
rm ~/.b2_account_info
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Re-authenticate
|
||||||
|
b2 authorize-account YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID YOUR_APP_KEY
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Test connection
|
||||||
|
b2 account-info
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Backup Size Issues
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If backups are too large:
|
||||||
|
1. Check for duplicate/cache files in Nextcloud data
|
||||||
|
2. Enable deduplication in B2 console
|
||||||
|
3. Increase `BACKUP_RETENTION_DAYS` to allow fewer concurrent backups
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Permission Denied Errors
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ensure the backup script runs as root and has access to:
|
||||||
|
- Docker socket (for database dumps)
|
||||||
|
- Nextcloud data directory
|
||||||
|
- Temporary directory
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Database Connection Issues
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Verify database credentials and that the container is running:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Check if database container is running
|
||||||
|
docker-compose -f /path/to/nextcloud/docker-compose.yml ps
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Test database connection
|
||||||
|
docker-compose -f /path/to/nextcloud/docker-compose.yml exec -T mariadb \
|
||||||
|
mysql -u nextcloud -p${NEXTCLOUD_DB_PASSWORD} -e "SELECT 1"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Cost Optimization
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Backblaze B2 Pricing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As of 2024:
|
||||||
|
- Storage: $0.006/GB/month
|
||||||
|
- Downloads: $0.003/GB (first 1GB free daily)
|
||||||
|
- API calls: $0.0004 per 1000 calls
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Optimize Costs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Compression**: zstd reduces size by 40-70%
|
||||||
|
2. **Retention**: Keep only 30 days of backups
|
||||||
|
3. **Incremental**: Daily incremental + weekly full = smaller total size
|
||||||
|
4. **Deduplication**: Enable in B2 for identical blocks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Example: 100GB Nextcloud → ~30-40GB compressed → $0.18-0.24/month storage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Maintenance
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Monthly Checks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Verify backup integrity
|
||||||
|
sudo /opt/nextcloud-backup/nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh status
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Check logs for errors
|
||||||
|
sudo grep "ERROR" /opt/nextcloud-backup/.backups/logs/*.log
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Verify B2 credentials still valid
|
||||||
|
sudo b2 account-info
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Update Schedule
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Check for B2 CLI updates monthly
|
||||||
|
- Review Backblaze pricing changes quarterly
|
||||||
|
- Test restore procedure every 6 months
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Advanced Configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Custom Backup Schedule
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Edit `/etc/systemd/system/nextcloud-backup.timer`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```ini
|
||||||
|
# Run at 2 AM and 2 PM daily
|
||||||
|
OnCalendar=*-*-* 02:00:00
|
||||||
|
OnCalendar=*-*-* 14:00:00
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Or more complex: Mon-Fri 2 AM, weekends 4 AM
|
||||||
|
OnCalendar=Mon-Fri *-*-* 02:00:00
|
||||||
|
OnCalendar=Sat,Sun *-*-* 04:00:00
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then reload:
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl restart nextcloud-backup.timer
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Exclude Directories
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Modify the `get_changed_files()` function in the script:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
find "${NEXTCLOUD_DATA_PATH}" -type f \
|
||||||
|
! -path '*/.*' \
|
||||||
|
! -path '*/cache/*' \
|
||||||
|
! -path '*/preview/*' \
|
||||||
|
> "$manifest_file"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Pre/Post Backup Hooks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Add to the script before/after backup:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Before backup
|
||||||
|
if [ -x /opt/nextcloud-backup/pre-backup-hook.sh ]; then
|
||||||
|
/opt/nextcloud-backup/pre-backup-hook.sh
|
||||||
|
fi
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# ... backup logic ...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# After backup
|
||||||
|
if [ -x /opt/nextcloud-backup/post-backup-hook.sh ]; then
|
||||||
|
/opt/nextcloud-backup/post-backup-hook.sh
|
||||||
|
fi
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

## 💾 What Gets Backed Up
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
✅ **All Nextcloud files** (user documents, photos, videos)
|
||||||
|
✅ **Database** (all settings, user accounts, sharing)
|
||||||
|
✅ **Metadata** (file permissions, timestamps)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 💰 Estimated Costs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Based on Backblaze B2 pricing (as of 2024):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Size | Compressed | Monthly Storage | Annual |
|
||||||
|
|------|-----------|-----------------|--------|
|
||||||
|
| 50GB | 15-20GB | $0.09-0.12 | $1.08-1.44 |
|
||||||
|
| 100GB | 30-40GB | $0.18-0.24 | $2.16-2.88 |
|
||||||
|
| 500GB | 150-200GB | $0.90-1.20 | $10.80-14.40 |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Plus minimal API costs ($0.0004 per 1000 calls)*

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
OPTION B: Manual File Deployment
|
||||||
|
──────────────────────────────────
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Copy each file individually:
|
||||||
|
scp /home/jgitta/nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh root@192.168.88.62:/tmp/
|
||||||
|
scp /home/jgitta/install-nextcloud-backup.sh root@192.168.88.62:/tmp/
|
||||||
|
scp /tmp/nextcloud-backup-config.env root@192.168.88.62:/tmp/.env
|
||||||
|
scp /tmp/b2-credentials.env root@192.168.88.62:/tmp/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. SSH and install:
|
||||||
|
ssh root@192.168.88.62
|
||||||
|
cd /tmp
|
||||||
|
sudo bash install-nextcloud-backup.sh
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
OPTION C: Via Jump Host (Proxmox)
|
||||||
|
──────────────────────────────────
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If direct SSH doesn't work:
|
||||||
|
scp -o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p root@192.168.88.25" \
|
||||||
|
-r /tmp/nextcloud-backup-deploy root@192.168.88.62:/tmp/

✅ VERIFICATION CHECKLIST
|
||||||
|
=========================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After deployment, verify:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On Nextcloud VM (192.168.88.62):
|
||||||
|
☐ B2 credentials authenticate successfully
|
||||||
|
☐ Dry-run backup completes (sudo DRY_RUN=true ...)
|
||||||
|
☐ Real backup uploads files to B2
|
||||||
|
☐ Timer is enabled and active
|
||||||
|
☐ First automatic backup runs at scheduled time
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In Backblaze B2:
|
||||||
|
☐ Files appear in jg-nextcloud bucket
|
||||||
|
☐ nextcloud-db-*.sql.zst files present (database)
|
||||||
|
☐ nextcloud-files-*.tar.zst files present (data)
|
||||||
|
☐ File sizes are reasonable (not 0 bytes)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
🎯 SUCCESS CRITERIA
|
||||||
|
===================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Your deployment is successful when:
|
||||||
|
1. Installer runs without errors
|
||||||
|
2. B2 credentials work
|
||||||
|
3. Dry-run backup shows what would be backed up
|
||||||
|
4. Real backup completes and uploads to B2
|
||||||
|
5. Timer is enabled and scheduled
|
||||||
|
6. First automatic backup runs at 2 AM
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
⏱️ ESTIMATED TIMELINE
|
||||||
|
======================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Deployment: 5-10 minutes
|
||||||
|
- Installer run: 2-3 minutes
|
||||||
|
- Dry-run test: 5-10 minutes
|
||||||
|
- Real backup: 30-60 minutes (depends on data size)
|
||||||
|
- Verification: 5 minutes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Total: ~1 hour for full setup & testing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
💾 BACKUP STATISTICS
|
||||||
|
====================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Nextcloud at VM103:
|
||||||
|
- Data directory: /mnt/nextcloud-data (~65% of 2TB = ~1.3TB)
|
||||||
|
- Database size: ~500MB (typical)
|
||||||
|
- Expected backup: 1.3-1.8TB raw
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After compression (zstd):
|
||||||
|
- Compressed size: 400-700GB (40-70% reduction)
|
||||||
|
- B2 cost: ~$2.40-4.20/month for storage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
🔐 SECURITY NOTES
|
||||||
|
=================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Credentials:
|
||||||
|
✅ B2 credentials stored in /etc/nextcloud-backup/ (chmod 600)
|
||||||
|
✅ Database password in /opt/nextcloud-backup/.env
|
||||||
|
✅ No credentials in logs or backups
|
||||||
|
✅ No credentials committed to git
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Best Practices:
|
||||||
|
✅ Rotate B2 keys annually
|
||||||
|
✅ Test restore procedures monthly
|
||||||
|
✅ Monitor B2 console for unauthorized access
|
||||||
|
✅ Keep backup logs for audit trail
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

If you encounter issues:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Check logs:
|
||||||
|
sudo journalctl -u nextcloud-backup.service -n 100
|
||||||
|
sudo tail -f /opt/nextcloud-backup/.backups/logs/backup_*.log
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Test B2 auth:
|
||||||
|
b2 authorize-account 00522b2471e5f090000000002 K005yPezlVJiBoZezpTKx8mNtwG5vfA
|
||||||
|
b2 account-info
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. Verify MySQL:
|
||||||
|
mysql -u nextcloud -p'Jogiocsi1211+' -e "SELECT 1"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Review docs:
|
||||||
|
See /home/jgitta/DEPLOY_TO_NEXTCLOUD_VM.md (Troubleshooting section)
