Server-Side vs Client-Side Encryption: Which Is Better for Cloud Storage?

The way your files are encrypted determines who can access them, how they are shared, and how well your data is protected against different security risks. Server-side and client-side encryption are the two most common approaches, and neither is universally better than the other.

Nextcloud Backup Best Practices: How to Protect Your Data

A Nextcloud server often stores valuable files, photos, documents, and collaborative data, making it essential to have a reliable backup strategy. Hardware failures, accidental deletions, ransomware, failed updates, or configuration errors can all lead to data loss, and without a proper backup, recovery may be impossible. Following proven Nextcloud backup best practices helps ensure you can restore your server quickly and minimize downtime when problems occur.  In this article, we'll discuss wh

FAQ

An Overview of the most Important Questions

If your Question is not mentioned

Please feel free to contact us by email at the following address:

01/

Nextcloud is open source, so you can self-host it for free at any time — we even encourage it. Many of our customers start by running their own Nextcloud instance, and migrate to CloudBased Backup once they hit storage limits, outgrow their hardware, or no longer want to handle maintenance, backups, and security updates themselves. When you're ready, we'll help you migrate your existing instance with zero downtime.

02/

Your account remains restorable for 30 days after cancellation, giving you time to revert your decision if needed. After 30 days, your data is permanently deleted from our servers in line with GDPR requirements.

03/

Unlike Google Drive and Dropbox, your data is hosted in EU data centers in Germany, fully GDPR-compliant, and never used to train AI models or shared with advertisers. You get the same collaboration features (file sharing, real-time editing, mobile sync) plus video calls, mail, and groupware in one platform.

04/

Managed Nextcloud GDPR hosting means we provide a fully administered Nextcloud cloud (infrastructure, security, updates, backups) hosted in Germany under GDPR-aligned data protection standards, so your data stays private and compliant.

05/

With managed hosting, we handle server setup, maintenance, security, updates, and backups. With self-hosting, your team must manage the OS, Nextcloud software, upgrades, security hardening, and backups. Managed reduces technical workload and risk.

06/

Yes. Our managed Nextcloud GDPR hosting stores data exclusively in German data centers under strict German privacy laws, supporting GDPR compliance. The actual compliance depends on both the hosting setup and your internal processes.

07/

Expect industry best practices such as TLS encryption, firewall hardening, server patching, dedicated resources, and regular OS/Nextcloud updates. We also support secure sharing controls and access permissions within Nextcloud itself. We can never access your Nextcloud and your password is only stored in your Nextcloud.

08/

Yes. Managed plans include operating system and Nextcloud security updates so you always run supported, patched versions without administrative overhead.

09/

Recovery procedures and retention periods vary by plan, confirm your coverage in contract/SLA. Backups ensure data integrity and restore capability in case of incidents.

10/

Yes. Our managed Nextcloud supports using a custom domain and you can change the visual branding of your cloud portal completely for free.

11/

Yes you manage users, groups, sharing, apps, and policies via the Nextcloud admin interface. However, server-level access (SSH/root) is not provided in fully managed offerings.

12/

Yes. Nextcloud supports connections to other cloud storage APIs and can facilitate phased migrations. Ask about migration support during onboarding to ensure a smooth cut-over.
