I spun up nextcloud to replace onedrive about a year ago. Everything was going well so I chose not to renew my onedrive subscription, this was exactly 6 months ago, I’d assume.

I got an email a few days ago reminding me that they would delete my data. I ignored it because obviously I had moved my data to nextcloud. not gonna trick me Mi¢ro$oft.

But yesterday I decided to have a quick look though and it turns out I didn’t copy over everything, and certanly not my 5 years of camera roll backups.

I started a sync of everything last night and woke up in the morning to find that it had stopped at about 10gb out of 80gb. And now onedrive won’t connect and if I try to log in to onedrive with that account via the web it just kicks me back to the microsoft portal.

I’m 99.5% sure there is nothing to be done and I’m not an overly sentimental person so if they are lost it won’t break me. I have many important photos backed up in immich but just not everything.

But I just needed to ask in case someone knows where to find the M spot I can touch for magic file recovery.

Edit: turns out you can just pay them more money and they still had my stuff. thank you for joining me on the shortest support ticket of all time

      After yoloing it for years, I finally deployed an offaite backup this month. I also host on Nextcloud (at my house). While I do have a local disk backing up my Nextcloud install, I didn’t have any backups of the external media hosting my photos.

      Finally, I ordered a 10TB external drive and plugged it into a raspberry pi I had sitting around. Using wireguard and restic, I now have an offsite backup at a friend’s house!

      If anything, just get some external drives or something lol. Depending on how much space you are using, you can also look at hetzner. They have storage boxes that are relatively cheap for cloud backups.

      You could also use OneDrive or Google, just make sure you encrypt everything. This way they don’t actually have any of your data. It’s just for backups.

      I have also been using storj with truenas. You get a discount this way, but storj just introduced new pricing, so I don’t know how that impacts the discount or not
