Can't backup my NC instance to second hard drive

ℹ️ Support
1

After an update of my NCP, the automatic backups stopped working so tried to manually backup an instance with data.

NextcloudPi: v1.52.4
Nextcloud: 26.0.1.1
PHP: 8.2.8

I got the following error in my logs:

I hadn’t changed anything configuration or hardware-wise apart from the update to Bullseye and a new Nextcloud version (I think 26) including going up to PHP 8.

I should also mention as a sidenote that after the update my bookmarks and news sync didn’t work anymore. Maybe this is a hint somehow…

Latest NCPv1.52.4
uses PHP 8.1.18
So PHP 8.2.8 is not supported yet.

Oh shoot… How come all the rest is working, though? Is there a way to downgrade PHP safely or am I better off waiting for NCP to update?

4

Yes,

sudo apt-get install php8.1

5

Hmm, it’s still showing 8.2.8 after installing. I suppose I need to uninstall 8.2.8 after that?

I can’t remember excactly which steps I took. In any case it is safer to uninstall php8.2. But you can check the version you are actually using:
php --version
