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?
This is a fallacious. If you have a very small set of users, what exact data is in the database that you would be upset at losing? Maybe your contacts and your calendar. Which you could back up manually, which might actually be simpler than backing up the database.
I’m sorry, but writing down the data from your organizational program and re-entering it all from scratch is NOT a backup solution.
If you have such scant data to do that, you didn’t need to have nextcould installed in the first place.
