This is a fallacious. If you have a very small set of users, what exact data is in the database that you would be upset at losing? Maybe your contacts and your calendar. Which you could back up manually, which might actually be simpler than backing up the database.

I’m sorry, but writing down the data from your organizational program and re-entering it all from scratch is NOT a backup solution.
If you have such scant data to do that, you didn’t need to have nextcould installed in the first place.

Where are you getting that from? The fastest and easiest way to back up any server is a full filesystem backup, especially if you’re using something like zfs or btrfs.

I can’t decide if you don’t know what you’re talking about or you’re just trying to troll me.

Neither, I’m trying to explain that you don’t need to know the implementation details of the software running on your server to backup the entire thing.
