Nextcloud 13 snap backup script

Tried to make a sturdy backup script for nextcloud 13 snap

It makes 3 main things :

• save snap current & common
• save database

For restoration I use this (which does not require a database restoration, but saving the sqlbkp.bak seems safer anyway) :

#!/bin/sh
# restauration :
# 0 - préparation
sudo snap install nextcloud
sudo snap stop nextcloud

# restore data
## si besoin pour que l'user refhi puisse copier les données (plus simple pour rsync)
sudo mkdir /var/snap/nextcloud/common/nextcloud/data/
sudo chmod o+x /var/snap/nextcloud/common/nextcloud/
sudo chown -R refhi:refhi /var/snap/nextcloud/common/nextcloud/data/
## puis (attention à l'exclusion de preview)
rsync -Aax --progress --exclude 'preview' refhi@shuttle:/home/refhi/backups/nextcloud-data/ /var/snap/nextcloud/common/nextcloud/data/
sudo chmod o-x /var/snap/nextcloud/common/nextcloud/
sudo chown -R root:root /var/snap/nextcloud/common/nextcloud/data/

# restore curent & config
sudo chown -R refhi:refhi /var/snap/nextcloud/current/
rsync -Aax --progress refhi@shuttle:/home/refhi/backups/current/ /var/snap/nextcloud/current/
sudo chown -R root:root /var/snap/nextcloud/current/

# start it
sudo snap start nextcloud

Thanks for this, incredibly useful! I've used this as a base and added in creating an encrypted archive of the backup folder. Then I upload that encrypted archive to my backup storage on an ftp server.

I will fork and paste the script in once I've removed all the sensitive information - any comments welcome!
