How come no one in here seems to recommend ownCloud infinite Scale?

I have been testing it out and although it feels like a work in progress it’s really fast and works really well when you get it up and running..

I guess it’s more fair to compare it to something like seafile than nextcloud

Tried it, but wanted to test out a backup and restore in case of a disaster. I could never get it to work and the documentation is terrible so it stayed with syncthing.

It's really strange that they haven't prioritized a decent solution for backup and restore. Read that snapshots using zfs or btrfs is something that's encouraged.. it's a pretty lazy approach on their part.
