-Using OwnCloud as a backup tool for your Linux home is not recommended, at least not directly; in order to be compatible with multiple operating systems and apps, OwnCloud doesn't handle file names starting with dots properly, and file anmes also don't always appear to be fully case-sensitive, and permissions are not preserved either. Of course you can create a file backup (e.g. tar.gz or zip) of your home, in a location you sync with ownCloud in order to have a remote backup which will preserver special filenames and permissions.+Using OwnCloud as a backup tool for your Linux home is not recommended, at least not directly; in order to be compatible with multiple operating systems and apps, OwnCloud doesn't handle file names starting with dots properly, and file names also don't always appear to be fully case-sensitive, and permissions are not preserved either.
