Description

Im using Nextcloud 24.0.1 on an debian Docker host.

I have connected several "External storage" units in the Nextcloud Settings.

But as soon as I go to "Backup" in the settings, the error message appears:

  • Unable to fetch restoring points

  • Unable to fetch external locations

Nextcloud

In my Nextcloud I can use my "External Sotrage" without any problems - but in the Backup App there is it not possible.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the errors from the Backup page in Nextcloud settings with configured External storage units. Trace how the Backup app fetches restoring points and external locations, then verify that both lists load without errors while existing external storage remains usable.
