I've been using Nextcloud for years, but I've never used the web UI. Windows desktop app for syncing my Documents folder, and Android app for synchronizing a few folders on my phone, as well as the "append only" upload of my photo reel that something like SyncThing doesn't support. Works great, never had any issues with Nextcloud. The real value is in the companion apps.

I use a cron job to back up Nextcloud to B2 and S3 Glacier.

Couple of questions on your backups:

How much storage do you use and how much does it cost?

Have you ever tried restoring from Glacier?

I use S3 glacier on Scaleway (European cloud provider). Storing about 3TB costs me about 7€ per month including VAT. I've had to restore 1TB in the past and it cost me around 10€. Not bad for a worst case scenario. They also do mini VPSes for 3€ per month with unlimited traffic. Really nice provider, I've used them for many years.

I've got 18TB on Glacier and it costs $2.80/day

I've only tested partial restores from Glacier since it is expensive. I've got a raidz2 array locally as insurance against having to restore from a backup.
