make Nextcloud (or general high instance..) restore more efficent

[perler]

Recently we had to restore a nextcloud instance after a nexctloud update (problem was not related to cloudron). This takes forever, I think because the restore process cleans up the destination before restoring. I understand that you need to accomodate a lot of backup storage types, but in our case the storage is of type sshfs/rsync, so the easiest way to restore would be a

rsync -rptgoDLK SRC DST

and be done with it.

Any chance to implement this?

For the next release, I am adding backup integrity/checksums. With that we can maybe verify if what is there locally and remotely are the "same".

As you said, this is not implemented because rsync only works with sshfs/rsync. Doesn't work with object storage which is what is most commonly used on Cloudron.

Same as https://forum.cloudron.io/post/102381 and indeed highly needed because backups are in seconds but restores in hours/days!

and even object storage has options for a checksum based restore..
