 **Important:**
 
-- After cloning or downloading the repository, you'll have to edit the scripts so that they represent your current Nextcloud installation (directories, users, etc.).
-- The scripts assume that Nextcloud's data directory is *not* a subdirectory of the Nextcloud installation (file directory). The general recommendation is that the data directory should not be located somewhere in the web folder of your webserver (usually */var/www/*), but in a different folder (e.g. */var/nextcloud_data*).

 - If you do not want to save the database password in the scripts, remove the variable *dbPassword* and call *mysql* with the *-p* parameter (without password). When calling the scripts manually, you'll be asked for the database password.

 ## Restore
 
-For restore, just call *NextcloudRestore.sh*. This script expects one parameter which is the name of the backup to be restored. In our example, this would be *20170910_132703* (the time stamp of the backup created before). So the full command for a restore would be *./NextcloudRestore.sh 20170910_132703*.
