Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): 2.0.11
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): raspbian 10
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): apache 2.4.38
PHP version (eg, 7.4): 7.3.31

The issue you are facing:
cannot get the backup script to work.
wherever it is ran it returns:

Running nc-backup
Error reading data directory. Is NextCloud running and configured?
Done. Press any key...

nextcloud works fine, so it isn’t related to the whole server.
I’ve tried running the command to get the data path manually and got:

sudo -u www-data php  occ config:system:get datadirectory

I noticed the presence of previewgenerator, so I tried running it with the usual path (it used to work) and got:
