Description

I had start the backup manually but there is no progress to see in the target directory, no files. My nextcloud is now for 4 days in maintanace mode and I don't know when it will be done. No information in the log. I have a nextcloud storage with 200GB and the backup target is an external drive.

Research direction

Start by reproducing a manually started backup with a 200GB Nextcloud storage and an external-drive target, then inspect the available logs and target directory while maintenance mode remains active. Done means the backup makes observable progress, produces files in the target directory, and does not leave the instance indefinitely in maintenance mode.
