@jdaviescoates I do have it disabled. The problem is that it takes a backup when auto-updating. I can manually update and click on "skip backup" but I'm trying to find a way to keep auto-updates on and have it skip backups altogether or if we could have a backup option ignore the user files and only back up the app settings in case things go south. Data loss is not a problem since I keep multiple copies of the files locally.
The reason for all this is because of slow backup speeds which end up failing so I had to disable daily backups to the s3 bucket. Today, I noticed that I was two updates behind even though I have auto-updates turned on. I spotted nextcloud in the middle of the update process but it's stuck at backing up the files with 2MBps upload speeds and then it went to 0MBps and I decided stop it, and manually run the updates with "skip backup" turned on.
BTW, there were no failed/error messages in the dashboard about the backups/updates not going through.
