+# OpenCloud Backup Configuration
+
+## Overview
+
+Daily automated backup of OpenCloud data to Hetzner Object Storage using rclone.
+
+## Schedule
+
+- **Frequency:** Daily at 2:00 AM UTC
+- **Retention:** Last 7 days of backups
+- **Method:** rclone sync for data, rclone copy for config
+
+## What Gets Backed Up
+
+1. **Data Directory** (`/var/lib/opencloud/data`)
+   - User files
+   - Shares
+   - All uploaded content
+
+2. **Configuration** (`/etc/opencloud`)
+   - OpenCloud configuration files
+   - Note: Secrets are NOT backed up (stored in Kubernetes secrets)
+
+## Setup Required
+
+### 1. Create Hetzner Object Storage Bucket
+
+```bash
+# Create bucket via Hetzner Cloud Console or CLI
+# Bucket name: opencloud-backup
+# Region: fsn1 (or your preferred region)
+```
+
+### 2. Create S3 Access Credentials
+
+Generate S3-compatible access credentials from Hetzner Object Storage console.
+
+### 3. Create Sealed Secret
+
+```bash
+# Create unsealed secret first
+kubectl create secret generic hetzner-s3-credentials \
+  --from-literal=access-key='YOUR_ACCESS_KEY' \
+  --from-literal=secret-key='YOUR_SECRET_KEY' \
+  --namespace=opencloud \
+  --dry-run=client -o yaml > hetzner-s3-credentials.yaml
+
+# Seal it
+kubeseal --cert /tmp/sealed-secrets-cert.pem \
+  -f hetzner-s3-credentials.yaml \
+  -o yaml > hetzner-s3-credentials-sealed.yaml
+
+# Apply sealed secret
+kubectl apply -f hetzner-s3-credentials-sealed.yaml
+
+# Clean up unsealed secret
+rm hetzner-s3-credentials.yaml
+```
+
+### 4. Update Endpoint in backup-cronjob.yaml
+
+Replace `https://fsn1.your-objectstorage.com` with your actual Hetzner Object Storage endpoint:
+- fsn1: `https://fsn1.your-objectstorage.com`
+- nbg1: `https://nbg1.your-objectstorage.com`
+- hel1: `https://hel1.your-objectstorage.com`
+
+### 5. Deploy Backup CronJob
+
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f backup-cronjob.yaml
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+### Check CronJob Status
+
+```bash
+kubectl get cronjob -n opencloud
+kubectl get jobs -n opencloud
+```
+
+### View Backup Logs
+
+```bash
+# Get the latest backup job
+kubectl get jobs -n opencloud -l job-name=opencloud-backup
+
+# View logs
+kubectl logs -n opencloud job/opencloud-backup-<timestamp>
+```
+
+### Trigger Manual Backup
+
+```bash
+kubectl create job -n opencloud \
+  --from=cronjob/opencloud-backup \
+  opencloud-backup-manual-$(date +%s)
+```
+
+## Restore Procedure
+
+### Restore Data from Backup
+
+1. Scale down OpenCloud deployment:
+```bash
+kubectl scale deployment/opencloud -n opencloud --replicas=0
+```
+
+2. Create restore job:
+```bash
+kubectl run opencloud-restore \
+  --image=rclone/rclone:latest \
+  --restart=Never \
+  --namespace=opencloud \
+  --env="S3_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_KEY" \
+  --env="S3_SECRET_KEY=YOUR_SECRET" \
+  --overrides='
+{
+  "spec": {
+    "containers": [{
+      "name": "restore",
+      "image": "rclone/rclone:latest",
+      "command": ["/bin/sh", "-c"],
+      "args": ["
+        cat > /root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf <<EOC
+        [hetzner-s3]
+        type = s3
+        provider = Other
+        access_key_id = ${S3_ACCESS_KEY}
+        secret_access_key = ${S3_SECRET_KEY}
+        endpoint = https://fsn1.your-objectstorage.com
+        region = fsn1
+        EOC
+        rclone sync hetzner-s3:opencloud-backup/data-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS /data
+      "],
+      "volumeMounts": [{
+        "name": "data",
+        "mountPath": "/data"
+      }]
+    }],
+    "volumes": [{
+      "name": "data",
+      "persistentVolumeClaim": {
+        "claimName": "opencloud-data"
+      }
+    }]
+  }
+}'
+```
+
+3. Scale up OpenCloud:
+```bash
+kubectl scale deployment/opencloud -n opencloud --replicas=1
+```
+
+## Monitoring
+
+Monitor backup success/failure via:
+- Kubernetes Job status
+- Backup pod logs
+- Hetzner Object Storage bucket size/contents
+
+## Estimated Costs
+
+- **Storage:** ~€0.0059/GB/month (Hetzner Object Storage)
+- **Egress:** Free for first 1TB/month
+- **Example:** 50GB of data × 7 days retention = ~€2-3/month
+
+## Notes
+
+- Backups are encrypted in transit (HTTPS)
+- Backups at rest encryption depends on Hetzner Object Storage settings
+- Consider enabling versioning on the S3 bucket for additional protection
+- The backup job has read-only access to OpenCloud data
