[owncloud-devel] Making Owncloud backups safely

[Disco Patrick]

Hi all. The Owncloud admin manual recommends that nightly backups (with 
service interruption) can be achieved by shutting down apache before copying 
the files and dumping the database.

#small-workgroups-or-departments) 

Can I take this to mean that this is a safe way of backing up Owncloud? My 
concern was that I wasn't sure how to stop (or wait to finish) any sync or 
other operations that were currently happening. Would shutting down apache 
achieve this? I'm not too worried if a sync is interrupted and needs to be 
restarted later. Downtime is not an issue for me. I just want to avoid data 
corruption. Perhaps I don't even need to be concerned about the above? 

Best, 

Patrick
