Description

Hi,

I've tried the backup app on a nextcloud managed by hetzner:

https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share

The app puts the nextcloud in maintenance mode as expected but when it gets out of maintenance nothing is visible and backup page says "in the next 5 minutes".

In the backup app settings the "local storage" path is greyed out and not editable.

Since hetzner nextcloud doesn't allow external storage I think the current backup app cannot work there as is

May be if the backup app configuration would allow to specify a place in the nextcloud user visible directory (with of course implicit ".nobackup" for this directory to avoid rebacking up infinitely) it might be usable in hetzner managed nextcloud context.

May be just a checkbox and hardcoded "backup-app" directory for the admin account of the instance?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the behavior on Hetzner Storage Share and investigate why the backup page remains at “in the next 5 minutes” after maintenance mode ends. Done should be demonstrated by a visible, usable backup in a supported storage location without recursive re-backup.
