Tips for exporting nextcloud files on a slow device?
Hi,
I've got an Arch box sitting at home as a pseudo NAS. I'm usually using samba and SSH to share files. Out of lazyness I installed nextcloud too because it was easy to backup smartphone stuff automatically there. Needles the say, non-docker nextcloud had its share of problems on Arch. I'm now looking to get rid of nextcloud again in favor of syncthing. Problem is I'm failing to export all my files. Currently I'm mounting nextcloud via mount.davfs and running rsync over that. I can't just get all the files to be copied successfully, probably due to my underperforming hardware. The box is a first generation Atom CPU with 3 gigs of ram. WebDAV via nginx, php-fpm and mariadb is running into timeouts.
I figure it would work eventually if rsync would just retry timeouted files. Is there some rsync-like tool out there, that offers retries? Currently every run takes almost 2 days and I have no easy way of finding out what files failed to transfer.
Any tips welcome.

rsync works over ssh and may be more effective than the davfs mount.
