Automated NextCloud Backup to Wasabi or Amazon S3
-
@scottalanmiller I look at the docs and it seems you can set up a server to manage backups and then have the client on the machines you are backing up. I will go verify.

rclone is much easier

It is indeed. It's running now.

Huh, I'll have to check rclone out.

Has revisions? The word clone usually means no revision history.

rclone itself does not have revisions. You have to handle revisions either on the front end or the back end.
Front end, make a copy of everything in a folder or whatever. Back end, turn on Wasabi versioning.

How much data? How long is it taking?

rclone is incredibly powerful, I was using it at my previous gig to move multiple TB of storage from on-prem to cloud and then from cloud to cloud as service providers were changes.
eee

We have a NextCloud 19.0.1 instance currently and we'd like to automate the backup of it to Wasabi. I know that I can script it out, but it would be awesome if someone had something that they are already using to make this quick and simple.
Went with rclone as well, documented here:

I've never used rclone. I'm assuming it's like rsnapshot which I have used. Rsnapshot will create directories for each data snapshot and use hardlinks for each file not changed.

260GB or so, nothing crazy. Not sure, ran it overnight.

It isn't really. Feels like it should be, but it's more a weird name. It's like a "remote storage connector" with common tools like "copy" and "move" built into it. A bit weird at first, but from using it once, LOLOLOL, it seems really handy and not hard to use.

Also, WTF... Who watches backups real time?
