Backup strategy with S3 backend and external database

[Joker9944]

Hi there!

I'm trying to understand how to do proper backups with NC. For my current setup, I have a cluster S3 storage and an external PostgreSQL database.

So from my understanding, the only things that have to be backed up are the S3 bucket containing the data and the SQL db. All the config is mapped into the container with ConfigMaps and Secrets anyway, so I don't see a need to backup the config directory. Apps and themes can theoretically be regenerated by a script, so there's no need to back these up.

Are there any gotchas that I overlooked? This topic seems to be needlessly complicated somehow.

Here is my current setup if interested: https://github.com/Joker9944/k8s-config/tree/ea3af16684cd11d2b487e852eeedf9c98ef3f31d/apps/base/nextcloud
