=== Object store ===
=== Data storage ===
Nextcloud stores metadata in the database and files either on a local filesystem, external storage, or in an object storage.


==== Local filesystem ====
Using a filesystem with snapshot support, such as btrfs or zfs, may be useful for backup purposes
==== External storage ====
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/admin_manual/configuration_files/external_storage_configuration_gui.html
==== Object store ====
In this example we'll configure a local S3-compatible object store using Minio and connect it to Nextcloud

=== Backups ===
You should make backups of both the database and your storage.
 
For the database, [https://search.nixos.org/options?show=services.mysqlBackup services.mysqlBackup] or [https://search.nixos.org/options?show=services.postgresqlBackup services.postgresqlBackup] may come in handy. For local storage backups, periodically taking a snapshot of a snapshot-enabled filesystem such as btrfs or zfs may be a good first step. Remember to also make off-site copies.
