Nextcloud backups in OPNsense 21.7.1-amd64

[enoch85]

Hi,

What happened to the backup to Nextcloud in the latest version?

REALLY a shame if it's not supported anymore. :(

Thanks!

The core team extracted it to a plugin. If you install that, it will be there again (the configuration should be still there since nothing in the configuration is affected).

Hi

Got the backup to nextcloud working - but do have a minor question (noobish) concerning the related cron-job:
Is there a parameter needed for cron? If yes: which one(s)? If no: howto debug (as i entered no parameter, enabled and applied, but alas, no regular job is running resp. it only works manually (via Backup => Test/Save))?

The nextcloud backup does not need any external parameters. Everything is in config.xml.

I don't think the backup job needs a parameter as well. For testing, you could run the cron job manually to see if there are any crashes.

Thanks Fabian

Don't know what did not work yesterday, but cron ran this morning and did a backup to nextcloud - so: works as it should. Will keep a lazy eye on it and let it fill up the 30TB store after ;).
