@bigbear - Duplicati is a free option for backing up to B2. I have not personally used it with B2 but seems to be very flexible with various storage platforms.

I do use duplicati with B2 for it's target storage. Works great.
What type of file server are you running?
It's NextCloud on my home lab box. So really... nothing. Maybe 500MB worth of things to actually back up.
If you run nextcloud as a premise server can it serve as a bad to thr local network? Or only accessed via sync tool?

You can use it as the only on-premise file server if you want. Everything can access it via webdav now, and you can tie it into any AD or OpenLDAP domains already on site. Just makes end-user life that much easier. If setup properly, it's always accessible via a website anyway. The sync client is really the most painful way to access it, honestly.

Wow my typos....
So you can use it as a NAS/File Server and it does file locking etc like a windows file server?

I haven't specifically tested it's shared file locking, so I won't say for sure myself.

But you use it to map a network drive, correct?
And by file locking I just mean basic "this file is in use by XX user, the basic SMB stuff)

On premises or not, you can do that.

Yes, because it IS a legacy file server in that mode.

I am debating whether to load up NextCloud or just some CentOS setup for basic file sharing services. I am worried I am going to come back one day and see that he has installed FreeNAS or some other junk. But I cant speak from any personal experience about NextCloud.
Not sure we could rearrange the current gear to do a SAM-SD setup.

Ubuntu Server 18.04 live installer makes it easy to quickly deploy nextcloud during the install to test Nextcloud.
