Nextcloud asked in a poll at https://mastodon.social/@nextcloud@mastodon.xyz/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?

    Where are you getting that from? The fastest and easiest way to back up any server is a full filesystem backup, especially if you’re using something like zfs or btrfs.

      I can’t decide if you don’t know what you’re talking about or you’re just trying to troll me.

        Neither, I’m trying to explain that you don’t need to know the implementation details of the software running on your server to backup the entire thing.
