- removed snapshots go to a trash on the location and their data is only
freed after the deletion delay, which is chosen when the key is created
(default 7 days, 1-365) and cannot be changed afterwards; any admin can
bring them back (occ backup:trash, backup:trash:restore, web UI)
- up to three passphrase slots open the same master key (like LUKS), so
one person leaving or dying does not lock the company out; slot changes
are written to every location, announced to all admins and require a
new recovery kit confirmation, while backups keep running
- occ backup:key:slots, backup:key:slot:add|replace|remove; key init takes
--label and --delete-delay-days
- web UI: deletion delay and first slot at key creation, slot management,
trash per location with restore; all behind password confirmation
- README: key, slots (safe / CTO / head of IT), and protection against
ransomware: object lock in compliance mode (e.g. 90 days), credentials
without delete rights, provider snapshots, off-site copy
- AdminApiController (admin only, CSRF-protected): status, create key,
download recovery kit, confirm (statement accepted + exact phrase),
backends with their usable auth mechanisms, add/test/remove locations,
start backups, schedule, snapshots, browse, queue restores
- RestoreJob runs web-initiated restores in the background; backup and
restore runs are kept apart in the run table
- admin section 'NG Backup' with a Vue 3 / @nextcloud/vue 9 page: key and
recovery-kit flow (download, tick statement, 'Yes, I confirm'), location
form built from files_external's parameter definitions, schedule, run
list with polling, snapshot browser and restore with the three modes
- auth mechanisms that depend on a user session or on files_external's
own stored credentials are not offered
API tested with curl on NC34 (status, backends, schedule validation,
confirmation refusal, browse, queued restore and backup completed by
cron); non-admins get 403, anonymous 401.
