Nextcloud asked in a poll at https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]/115095096413238457 what database its users are running. Interestingly one fifth replied they don’t know. Should people know better where their data is stored, or is it a good thing everything is running so smoothly people don’t need to know what their software stack is built upon?

    And if you don’t know what database you’re running, how are you backing it up?

    If you don’t know what database you’re running, are you bothering to do a full shutdown before backups? Are you doing backups at all…
