Because NextCloud is awesome.
There is not only file access (and a companion app quite usefull), there is also a contact app, calendar, and many many other tools.
But in term of used space, my server is 90% files from NextCloud, all other apps are much more lightly used (even Synapse, heavily used, is mostly text)

sure, I tried it myself then it crashed for some unknown reason (look at previous posts) then I abandoned It and now it’s just slowly tearing away.
How is this possible, the SSD has 1 Tb?

is there maybe a way to host the backup file on a different disk than the installation drive?
On my side, I created a link from /home/yunohost.backup/archives to another disk
Take care to only link this folder, I had problems when I linket all /home/yunohost.backup to somewhere else (there are many optimisations in the backup procedure that do not like links)
I consider that as a yes
@Mamie to be clear, if I drop the backup on let’s say an external drive and mount it to the yuno backup folder im fine right.
I know that it is basic linux stuff but sometimes things are different with yuknow
Now I get this issue?!

@Aleks I tried to install/upgrade python but it’s already the latest version but it did not help. What to do?
@Mamie maybe?
Why the silence? @Aleks you assured me that it should go flawlessly, and now It’s taking too long and this is costing a lot of customers, so please provide a fix or patch it.
Well what can I say, this entire thread is just epicly confusing … at some point you had disk space issue, also I’m still heavily puzzled on how can a backup weight 500 ish GB just for a bunch of wordpress … I mean, if you really are hosting an e-commerce thing with 100 000 product, and similar trade volume, maybe you should not improvise the maintenance of your server …
But anyway:
Naively that sounds like a situation where you’re trying to extract an archive that contain a symlink to a filesystem that doesn’t support symlink …
Could it be that the filesystem is ntfs or something … What does lsblk -f tell ?

Let’s map that out a little better.
The disk is > ssd1 which is formatted with exfat > the drive name is nameless but then in dutch: Naamloos.
UUID: 6055-018B
Size 515.8G in use 45%
it’s mounted to: /mnt/srv-backup which is linked to home/yunohost.backup
so should I try to convert it or reformat it and recopy the backup, or shall I take a rope and hang in there swinging 
Yes 
How about exFat? Since that seems the only one with inter-compatibility between MacOS, Windblows and Linux.
exfat is apparently precisely what was the problem here, because it doesn’t seem to be able to handle symlinks
huh what? Who are you? Who am I? and where am I? My brains… I don’t feel them… 
First why does yunohost restore backup > Unpacking archive to /tmp/ this to me seems hassle because of that I constantly get the disk is full errors.
However if it did unpack the archive to the final destinations, it should not have given any error.
So in the end, I created a bakup without the megastore. Restored it to the new install. That worked and now I’ve rebooted back in the old installation and created a separate backup which I restored after the main part on to the new install.
Cumber-sum YES. Does it work yeah kinda. can I recommend it NOOOOO
