Hello,
I have Nextcloud 19 running fine in Docker containers on a Windows 10 Home host. Docker is using WSL2 for its virtualization host. I’m using a host mount to store the data files on a host NTFS disk, instead of inside the VHDX disk.
I use Backblaze Personal (not B2) for backup, and I have the client set to backup from the data drive. This is all working.
Nextcloud Backblaze B2
HOWEVER, there is a known performance issue with WSL2 and a Windows NTFS mount. They highly recommend that data stay in the VHDX drive. I would not mind moving that to my big drive. Then the data files could be accessed from Windows using the wsl$ path.
The problem with this is that now this would look to Backblaze like a network drive, and Backblaze won’t backup a network drive.
I’ve poked around and the only workaround I’ve found is to schedule occasional rsync/rclone jobs to mirror the data from the VHDX to the NTFS drive, and then point Backblaze to the mirror. Or course, this effectively halves my data capacity.
Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage
Backblaze offers B2 cloud storage which is similar to and compatible with Amazon S3. The advantage of Backblaze B2 is that you can use a variety of 3rd party integrations/software in order to backup your data. That means you have options when it comes to the software. NextCloud & BackBlaze B2 secure backup script / howto I wanted to share my backup script with everyone. This is a script that syncs to Backblaze B2 all of your files (encrypted by NextCloud), all of your encryption keys (enclosed in a tarball encrypted by a separate GPG key) and SQL dumps (also encrypted with that GPG key). Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage works similar to Amazon S3 or Microsoft Azure. Allowing you to store unlimited data in the cloud. But does it for 1/4th the cost.

My overall goal is to have backup with versioning and be able to access my 1TB of photos (I do serious amateur photography) from anywhere. I like the Dropbox model and it’s easy to to set up in-place backup/sync. Though now I’m wondering if I really need to sync ALL my files and find a solution that’s more dedicated to backup and syn only a small subset of my files.
