Description
Description
I have about 1 TB on my NextcloudPi instance. Running backups through the backup option on the NCP panel in the shell takes very long and I cannot verify the progress of if the backup process is still running at all.
A simple progress bar or a percentage indicator in the shell during the backup would be of immense help.

Start by locating the shell command used by the NextcloudPi panel's backup option and trace how the backup process reports status. Add a progress bar or percentage indicator that remains visible during a backup, then verify that long-running backups clearly show ongoing progress and completion.
