Have you been backing up your current ownCloud instance? If not, perhaps it's time? Think of all that time spent doing the setup and all that important data now stored in your ownCloud. Do you really want to take a chance losing the ownCloud configuration and all that stored data? Don't make it a "round to it" make it a "do it".

Following information will be provided to "backup and recover" data specific to ownCloud. No attempts will be made to discuss "philosophies" for backup and recover. The rsnapshot application will be used to backup data from an ownCloud instance and stored files. rnapshot does not perform the recovery of data and files. Recovery from the data backups will be done by other methods.

Please Note: Information provided is based on a Fedora platform.
