WebDAV

Back up to any WebDAV server, such as Nextcloud or ownCloud.

1. Set up the storage

1. On your WebDAV server, create a folder for backups.
2. Create credentials for it. On Nextcloud/ownCloud, generate an app password (Settings > Security) rather than using your login password.
3. Find the WebDAV URL for that folder. On Nextcloud it looks like https://cloud.example.com/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/backups.

2. Connect it in Nyx Backup

New backup set > destination WebDAV, then enter:

• Server URL - the WebDAV folder URL from step 3.
• Username and Password - the app password from step 2.

Once Test connection succeeds, set a schedule and retention, save the set, and choose Run now. Nyx Backup encrypts everything on your machine before upload, so this destination only ever holds encrypted blobs. Give each machine its own bucket or folder - see Connecting storage.

Tip: an app password can be revoked without changing your main account password, and keeps backups working if you rotate your login.
