The Basics

Summary of the issue you are facing:
I’m trying to set up a backup to my NAS which is where the ncdata folder also is.
I can see the process creates a lock.roster file and a lock.exclusive file.
The log is below- I’m sure it’s a simple configuration issue, I’m just not sure what.
The ncdata folder is mapped to /Volumes/Backup/Nextcloud/nextcloud_data
I’m entering this in the AIO Local Backup Location /Volumes/Backup/Nextcloud
Which should put the backups in
/Volumes/Backup/Nextcloud/borg
Nextcloud
Please provide the log entries from your Nextcloud log that are generated during the time of problem (via the Copy raw option from Administration settings->Logging screen or from your nextcloud.log located in your data directory). Feel free to use a pastebin/gist service if necessary.
