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*). For more information, see [here](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/15/admin_manual/installation/installation_wizard.html#data-directory-location-label). - However, if your data directory *is* located under the Nextcloud file directory, you'll have to change the scripts so that the data directory is not part of the backup/restore (otherwise, it would be copied twice). - The scripts only backup the Nextcloud data directory. If you have any external storage mounted in Nextcloud, these directories have to be handled separately. -- If you have enabled 4 byte support (see [Nextcloud Administration Manual](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/15/admin_manual/configuration_database/mysql_4byte_support.html)) while backup, you have to enable 4 byte support on the target system *before* restoring the backup. -- 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. +- The scripts assume that you are using MySQL/MariaDB as database for Nextcloud. However, it also supports PostreSQL databases. In this case you have to uncomment the parts of backing up/restoring the database. +- You should have enabled 4 byte support (see [Nextcloud Administration Manual](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/15/admin_manual/configuration_database/mysql_4byte_support.html)) on your Nextcloud database. Otherwise, when you have *not* enabled 4 byte support, you have to edit the restore script, so that the database is not created with 4 byte support enabled. ## Backup
