      Hi Cloudron community,

      I'm running Nextcloud on my Cloudron instance with external S3 object storage for the files. While Cloudron handles the Nextcloud app backups nicely, I'm looking for the best approach to ensure my S3 storage is also backed up in sync with these Cloudron backups.

      Ideally, I want a solution that:

      • Creates S3 backups at the same time as the scheduled Cloudron Nextcloud backups
      • Maintains the same retention period for both backups
      • Is relatively simple to set up and maintain

      Has anyone solved this problem already? What tools or scripts are you using to keep these backups synchronized?

      Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

        There is a suggestion to use rsync with a cron job inside of cloudron

          You could probably achieve something like what you're after just by using SyncThing to sync your Nextcloud S3 buckets to somewhere else? 🤷

          I'm not doing that, but I do use it to sync my local Music and Book libraries up to Hetzner Storage Boxes which are then mounted as Cloudron Volumes into the Storage of Navidrome and Calibre Web. It works great (so much better than rsyncing which is what I was doing before).

          I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

            For backing up S3, you can also use something like rclone. But yeah, there is nothing in Cloudron itself to do this.

              Thanks! For now, rclone seems to be most promising.
              Syncthing doesn't fit my needs, because it has no S3 API, mentioning it for future reference.

              And btw, rclone GUI is on the wishlist.
