I have recently upgrade to nextcloud version 23.0.0 mainly because I was wanting to make use of the backup application to backup my nextcloud to an external hard drive that I have defined under external storage.

- disabled encryption (do not need it)
- exported configuration (saving the text in a file - i’m not totally sure how/when this will be used)
- defined a restoring point location (here I selected from the dropdown the path to my ext storage area and then under restoring point location i put the name of the subfolder I created there). I put the same information under app data. It isn’t totally clear that I have done this correctly so am interested to here feedback on these 2 particular settings.
