Go to the folder containing the folder that you want to backup.

```
cd /var/www/nextcloud
```
Then create the backupfolder and go into it
```
mkdir data-backup
cd data-backup
```

```
/var/www/nextcloud/data-backup
```
whereas the data folder should be in the same dir as data-backup
```
/var/www/nextcloud/data
```
Now change the variables accordingly in the extract and inject script.
The extract script will create a copy of data and its subdirs, if they
contain data after the date specified.
After that, the inject script will copy to folder specified in the script.
