How Are You Backing Up NextCloud on a Cloud Instance

And then how do you backup? Was planning on loading this up today.
This is "figure it out yourself." You can get a second Vultr instance and copy to there. You can upload to B2, S3, Glacier or similar. You can download to your local storage. Whatever works for you.

Nextcloud is designed to allow federation sharing. I first tested this back in like ownCloud 7 or something. You can used to be able to use this to fully sync data on two servers. Have not tried it since testing the functionality originally because no one has needed it.

That would be neat for inter-regional protection. Like with Vultr have one server in NY and one in Amsterdam or wherever else they offer and keep them in sync. Then you can just access the one closer to you. That would be very cool.

All of the clients that are using ownCloud (pending upgrades to Nextcloud) are running as a VM on their site.
For clients, I use the desktop sync client and move their user folders to the ownCloud folder under their profile (default location).
Thanks, JB.
What do you do for backup?

You can get a second Vultr instance in a different data center and copy to there.
FTFY
Honestly, I would try to pick a different provider for backup.

B2 Cloud Storage is super cheap. $0.005/GB a month and the first 10GB is free
Super easy to setup from the command line.

I do not have any Nextcloud instance out on a cloud host.

How do you bill your clients as the storage usage increases?

This is on their servers. I don't. I do not sell storage, or hosting, or anything else except my time. Clients pay for services directly and then pay me to manage it.
Rarely a client will have us pay for something, and we will simply pass it through on the bill 100% as is.

@JaredBusch Understood. Thx for the detail.
