To backup Nextcloud: there are four major components to deal with:   folder nextcloud/config   folder nextcloud/data   folder nextcloud/theme   folder nextcloud/config (added by me)   (also possibly .htaccess) The database (can be MySQL/MariaDB, SQLite, or PostgreSQL) It's possible to manually back up folders, files, and the database. Have a look at the Nextcloud documentation to find out how to achieve that. It basically involves shutting down the application, letting it store its internal state on disk, backing up all files, and restarting Nextcloud. from: How to back up Nextcloud with Bareos – Nextcloud

See this wp cmb primary anisotropy section for interpretations of the power spectrum peaks, and adiabatic density perturbations vs isocurvature density perturbations. The CMB can distinguish between the two: “adiabatic density perturbations produce peaks whose locations are in the ratio 1:2:3:...[56] Observations are consistent with the primordial density perturbations being entirely adiabatic, providing key support for inflation, and ruling out many models of structure formation involving, for example, cosmic strings.” adiabatic vs isocurvature perturbations | primordial isocurvature perturbations |

The Hubble tension might be pointing towards new physics, a possibility which has been the subject of significant study in the literature: see e.g. [88–137] for a selection of works examining this possibility. However, as pointed out in a number of recent works (e.g. [138–140]), it is important to check that proposed solutions are consistent with BAO distance measurements Soundness of Dark Energy Properties, pg 8.

Some of the numerous examples proposing to alleviate Hubble constant tension [1908.03663] The Hubble Hunter's Guide, reviews “a variety of types of departures from ΛCDM that could, in principle, restore concordance among these datasets, and we explain why we find almost all of them unlikely to be successful.” [2004.09487] Relieving the Hubble tension with primordial magnetic fields [2003.03602] Reconciling Hubble Constant Discrepancy from Holographic Dark Energy [2002.10831] Solving the curvature and Hubble parameter inconsistencies through structure formation-induced curvature [2002.06782] Reducing the \(H_{0}\) tension with generalized Proca theory [2002.06127] Tensions in the dark: shedding light on Dark Matter-Dark Energy Interactions [2002.05602] Phenomenological model explaining Hubble Tension origin [2001.07536] Resolving the \(H_0\) tension with diffusion [1912.00242] \(H_0\) tension and the String Swampland [1912.00190] Can Non-standard Recombination Resolve the Hubble Tension?

Cosmological parameter inference with Bayesian statistics [1903.11127] The main aim of this work is to provide an introduction of Bayesian parameter inference and its applications to cosmology. We assume the reader is familiarized with the basic concepts of statistics, but not necessarily with Bayesian statistics. Then, we provide a general introduction to this subject, enough to work out some examples
