Where is the data of the app stored?

[Ali-Riese]

Hey,
i have a complete new setup of nextcloud on an RPI4 and was wondering if i can restore the data of an other Instance that i have backuped?
I have a complete backup of the data directory of the "old" instance.

Is there any possible way to get the clients, projects, etc. from the backup into the new instance?

Best, Ali

Hey @Ali-Riese

It's a blessing and a curse – the data is stored in the database. If you have an SQL backup of your old instance, you can copy the tables prefixed with timemanager_ into your new database. The only thing you may need to adjust are the user ids in case you created different user accounts on your new instance.

Hope this helps!
