Description
I was waiting for this backup feature for quite a while and really happy to see it. However, this feels more like an alpha / beta version to me. Tried various fresh installs, sometimes it back-ups, sometimes it doesnt. SMB seems to work best, SFTP doenst work at all. Folders get created but nothing gets uploaded. Restore didnt work, when it worked, it did not re-instate the latest version of NC, but I was able to retrieve data from the server itself, install new and would upload data there (all testing scenarios). Today it didnt come back from maintenance mode. I have a real small installation 4 GB of data, ubuntu server tells me 16 GB are used in total. Snapshots from the VM taken daily cosnume in total 170 GB ? Keeps tellign me next restore point in 5 minutes.... since hours...

Research direction
No file or test is named; begin by reproducing the inconsistent external-storage backup with SMB and SFTP, then compare the upload, restore, and maintenance-mode paths. Done means the reported failures have a confirmed scope and regression coverage demonstrates reliable upload, restore of the latest version, and exit from maintenance mode.
