Description
Hi there,
the backup add-in is used to back up all files from one Nextcloud server to another server.
For this purpose, an "external storage" was defined, which refers to another Nextcloud server.
Currently only the apps are backed up. the "BACKUP" folder remains empty.
Can it be that all files are packed into a ZIP archive and then transferred? If so, the ZIP archive would be way too big, as around 20GB of backup files need to be backed up.

Hallo,
das Backup-Add In wird dafür eingesetzt, um alle Dateien von einem Nextcloud-Server zum anderen Server zu sichern.
Dazu wurde ein "Externe Speicher" definiert, der auf einen anderen Nextcloud Server verweist.
Derzeit werden nur die Apps gesichert. der "Backup"-Ordner bleibt leer.
Kann es sein, dass alle Dateien in ein ZIP-Archiv gepackt werden, und anschließend übertragen wird? Wenn das so ist, würded das ZIP-Archiv viel zu groß sein, da etwa 20 GB an Backup-Dateien gesichert werden müssen.

Research direction
Start by reproducing a backup from one Nextcloud server to another through the configured external storage and inspect how the backup add-in handles user files versus apps. Done means the files in the source server are transferred to the destination without leaving the BACKUP folder empty or requiring an impractically large ZIP archive.
