Be aware that this solution does not back up files and folders that are mounted into Nextcloud using the external storage app.
Note that this implementation does not provide remote backups, for this you can use the [backup app](https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/backup).

#### Are remote borg backups supported?
Not directly but you have multiple options to achieve this:
- Mount a network FS like SSHFS, SMB or NFS in the directory that you enter in AIO as backup directory
- Use rsync or rclone for syncing the borg backup archive that AIO creates locally to a remote target (make sure to lock the backup archive correctly before starting the sync; search for "aio-lockfile"; you can find a local example script here: https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#sync-the-backup-regularly-to-another-drive)
- You can find a well written guide that uses rclone and e.g. BorgBase for remote backups here: https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/discussions/2247
- create your own backup solution using a script and borg, borgmatic or any other to backup tool for backing up to a remote target (make sure to stop and start the AIO containers correctly following https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#how-to-enable-automatic-updates-without-creating-a-backup-beforehand)
- Additionally, there is the [backup app](https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/backup) for remote backups
