Backed up will get all important data of your Nextcloud AIO instance like the database, your files and configuration files of the mastercontainer and else.

The backup itself uses a tool that is called BorgBackup which is a well-known server backup tool that efficiently backs up your files and encrypts them on the fly.

+ By using this tool, backups are incremental, differential, compressed and encrypted – so only the first backup will take a while. Further backups should be fast as only changes are taken into account.

Backups get created in the following directory on the host: {{ borg_backup_host_location }}/borg

Be aware that this solution does not back up files and folders that are mounted into Nextcloud using the external storage app - but you can add further Docker volumes and host paths that you want to back up after the initial backup is done.

Regarding backup retention, see this.
