**NextBackup** (formerly OwnBackup) is the **simple database backup solution** for your **[ownCloud](http://www.owncloud.org/)** 8.1+
and **[Nextcloud](http://www.nextcloud.com/)** installation.

Its main purpose is to provide an easy solution to restore the tables of an app in case you accidentally corrupted the data or did anything you regret later.

**Beware**: This application depends on private (now partly deprecated) ownCloud / Nextcloud API and only works as good as this API!

**NextBackup is not compatible with Nextcloud 21+!**
See [#50](https://github.com/pbek/nextbackup/issues/50) for more information.

## Installation

Clone the app into your Nextcloud / ownCloud apps directory:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/pbek/nextbackup.git apps/nextbackup -b master
```

Activate the app:

```bash
occ app:enable nextbackup
```

The app will **automatically start running** from this point onward and will create a backup (approximately) every hour. **No additional configuration** is needed for that.

The only requirement is properly working background jobs, which are needed for a correctly working installation anyway. You'll find instructions on how to do this in the administration manuals ([Nextcloud](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_server/background_jobs_configuration.html?highlight=cron), [ownCloud](https://doc.owncloud.com/server/admin_manual/configuration/server/background_jobs_configuration.html)).

You'll find options to restore from previous backups and also to trigger the creation of new backups in the administration settings. See below screenshots for details.

## Features

- NextBackup creates backups of your Nextcloud / ownCloud tables hourly via your Nextcloud / ownCloud cronjob or manually.
- You are able to choose which tables from a certain backup you want to restore.
- NextBackup expires your backups automatically.
- for 24h one backup every hour is kept
- for 7d one backup per day is kept
- for 4w one backup per week is kept
- for 12m one backup per 30d is kept
- for 2y one backup per year is kept
- If the Zlib library is present the backups get compressed with gzip.
- The backup should work with all databases, please report any problems.

## Limitations

- I've only tested the app with [Cron](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/admin_manual/configuration_server/background_jobs_configuration.html#cron) so far, please report any troubles with *Webcron* or *AJAX*.
- One main limitation for the size that your DB can have to be backed up will be the `memory_limit` and the `max_execution_time` of your PHP installation!

## Disclaimer

- Use this app at your own risk! Data loss may occur!
- This app is no replacement for a more professional backup solution!
