Description

I created my first restore point and in the restore point history it says it will be done in 5 minutes. When I reload the page (F5) the 5 minutes are counted from the point. You can repeat this again and again. If you wait the 5 minutes without reloading the page, nothing happens (no backup is created).

Maybe it is because I am trying to load the backup to an external hard drive. I did not manage to change the owner of the hard disk or a folder from root to e.g. www-data. Is it necessary to change the owner?

  • Debian 11 (bullseye)
  • Apache2
  • Nextcloud 23

Research direction

Start at the restore point history and reproduce the five-minute schedule on Nextcloud 23 with Debian 11 and Apache2, including an external hard drive. Check whether reloading resets the scheduled date and whether the backup runs after five minutes; done means the date remains fixed and the backup is created without reloading.
