I want to mirgrate my Nextcloud instance from a VPS to server in my home. I run the Nextcloud AIO Docker container, which uses Borg backup. The backup repo is about ~70 GB.

How would I best go about transferring it? Is using scp a good solution here (in combination with nohup so that I don’t have to keep my ssh session active)? Or is there some other best practice way of doing this?

    Write a trivial shell script that does your scp or rsync or whatever, then run it in the background with nohup, and you won’t have to worry about disconnects unless the box crashes. You can view progress by looking at nohup.out.
