Description

Nextcloud Server Version: 20.0.3

After a recent upgrade to 20.0.3 I attempted to follow advise given in Settings -> Administration -> Overview -> Security & Setup Warnings:

The old server-side-encryption format is enabled. We recommend disabling this. For more details see the documentation.

The linked docs refer to a command that doesn't seem to be available (any more?):

occ encryption:scan:legacy-format

Research direction

Start with the linked encryption_migration.rst documentation and verify whether occ encryption:scan:legacy-format is available for Nextcloud Server 20.0.3. Confirm the current migration command or procedure, then update the documentation so the security warning points to instructions that work.
