NextcloudBackup.sh

#!/bin/bash

#
# Bash script for creating backups of Nextcloud.
#
# Version 1.0.0
#
# Usage:
# 	- With backup directory specified in the script:  ./NextcloudBackup.sh
# 	- With backup directory specified by parameter: ./NextcloudBackup.sh <BackupDirectory> (e.g. ./NextcloudBackup.sh /media/hdd/nextcloud_backup)
#
# The script is based on an installation of Nextcloud using nginx and MariaDB, see https://decatec.de/home-server/nextcloud-auf-ubuntu-server-18-04-lts-mit-nginx-mariadb-php-lets-encrypt-redis-und-fail2ban/
#

#
# IMPORTANT
# You have to customize this script (directories, users, etc.) for your actual environment.
# All entries which need to be customized are tagged with "TODO".
#

# Variables
