Unfortunately, the initial Backup is not starting. I also can't get rid of the message above, even after uninstalling and reinstalling the backup app. Issue is described here: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/new-backup-app-setup/129889/3

Research direction

Start with the reported setup discussion at https://help.nextcloud.com/t/new-backup-app-setup/129889/3 and reproduce the initial Backup setup in the backup app. Trace why creation remains stuck at the reported restoring-point message and whether reinstalling changes the state. Done means the initial backup starts normally and the stale message no longer persists.
