sudo mysqldump -u root nextcloud-database-name > ~/nextcloud.sql

o back up NextCloud config folder, first cd into Nextcloud installation directory. (Depending on your setup, your Nextcloud installation directory may be different. For example, If you set up Nextcloud with LAMP stack, the directory might be /var/www/nextcloud/. If you set up Nextcloud with LEMP stack, the data directory might be /usr/share/nginx/nextcloud/).

cd /var/www/nextcloud/

Then use tar to back up the config folder.

sudo tar -cpzvf ~/nextcloud-config.tar.gz config/
