Owncloud vs nextcloud full#

I'd rather not have the need to run a backup client on servers, though was required for R1Soft CDP, of course. Read a full Pydio comparison with ownCloud and learn how ownCloud enables you to securely share files and folders within your organization.

ownCloud has a Community Edition, which is open sourced under the AGPLv3 license, but the company also has an Enterprise Edition with additional features offered under a commercial license. I do want a minimum of server-side encryption though. While Nextcloud is based on a fork of the open source ownCloud project, there are some key differences. I'll give it a revisit though for servers. I have looked at borgbackup from a laptop perspective but didn't go with it for some reason (overheads probably). Complete, as opposed to incremental backups are much easier to work with from a data restore viewpoint, space permitting. I'm much more interested in the easiest means of restoring to a freshly made VPS, for example. Additionally, rsync local copies to remote webDAVĭata deduplication isn't really a consideration for me, as I can store months of backups onto 1TB storage.Use WHM inbuilt backup to WebDAV, retaining local copies.With WHM/cPanel, a belt & braces approach (for added restore convenience):

On the server/VPS, mount a remote WebDAV.Generate local backups of client sites (custom script for CWP) It is too early to tell what is going on and what direction the two projects are headed in.If they are transferred via WebDAV (SabreDAV) then they are encrypted and added to the Nextcloud database index.įor non-cPanel instances (predominantly DA,CWP), the mechanism I use is briefly as follows: If files are simply rsynced/copied to Nextcloud, they are not encrypted. Though not ideal, I currently encrypt server-side, so at least the data is protected at rest - think, provider goes bust, drive goes semi-kaput, decommissioned disc is resold. Of course, this isn't practical at large scale but is workable (somewhat irritating) for the few clients that I have. Due to automated retention not working correctly, it's relatively easy to order by creation date and delete out older daily backups, retaining weekly/monthly. It's visually quick to scan down and see backups in date order. At a glance, one can browse directories for different countries/servers/VPS. Offers a convenient GUI, when it comes to organising longer term backups, akin to BackupExec, R1Soft BM et al.
