In order to make life easier for doing ownCloud backup and recovery a couple of tools might be of some benefit? The tools provided are based on the wiki articles "''Backup and Recovery of ownCloud''" and "''Upgrading ownCloud to New Version Releases''". Both tools can be modified to meet the needs of a current ownCloud instance. Please remember is if the tools are "modified" to back them up as in a next install of ownCloud they will be replaced with the packages defaults. The tools can be found at directory location, "/var/hda/web-apps/owncloud/html/scripts/".
