Description

Finally got my first backup to pack (had to trick the app into thinking it's not using an external drive as local app data feature was getting a chunk has no owner error, but I digress) by mounting the drive into the Backup app's directory. However, it is an extremely large backup considering the slow internet connection between the server and the remote Nextcloud instance and after waiting 12 hours I cannot tell if the app has even begun uploading let alone how far along it might be. The remote Nextcloud doesn't report any file changes, though I'm assuming this is because the remote Nextcloud server is doing some temp directory stuff until it has the final, complete upload.

Is there any way to check how much of the backup has uploaded? backup:point:list and backup:point:details don't show any relevant information, as far as I can tell.

Cheers!

Research direction

Start by tracing the implementations of backup:point:list and backup:point:details, then inspect how a backup point's upload state is tracked for a remote Nextcloud instance. Done means users can determine whether uploading has started and how much of the backup has uploaded.
