I want to mirgrate my Nextcloud instance from a VPS to server in my home. I run the Nextcloud AIO Docker container, which uses Borg backup. The backup repo is about ~70 GB.

How would I best go about transferring it? Is using scp a good solution here (in combination with nohup so that I don’t have to keep my ssh session active)? Or is there some other best practice way of doing this?

    Hm, you really shouldn’t fuck around with Borg stuff, the Borg tend to recover their lost/dead tech

    I’d probably actually use mscp, which is scp but with multiple threads and is shockingly faster moving a ton of little files, which I assume this mostly is.

    I also tend to prefer screen/tmux instead of nohup, and then output verbose so I can keep an eye on shit and/or see failures, but that’s just a personal preference and doesn’t really matter in terms of performance/reliability/anything.
