Description
Description
The current daily backup now takes several hours to complete. The nextcloud is in maintenance mode all the time and not accessible. Why not create a snapshot (I use btrfs) and backup the snapshot instead? then we can go out of maintenance mode within a few seconds?
Example
#no change in interface. maybe an additional indicator whether backup is running in the background or not.

Research direction
The issue proposes using a Btrfs snapshot so backups can run without keeping Nextcloud in maintenance mode. Start by locating the repository's existing backup entry point and checking how maintenance mode is currently controlled; done would mean the snapshot-based backup works and the service becomes accessible again within seconds.
