Snap Nextcloud export and import (Solved)

Hello,

Before a migration I try to do a export and import instance with Snap package.

With a fresh install on Ubuntu Server 20.04 I install Nextcloud and export from my VM1

sudo snap install nextcloud
sudo nextcloud.manual-install user password
sudo nextcloud.export

With a fresh install on Ubuntu Server 20.04 I install snap Nextcloud , share folder for import previous backup ( /mnt ) and I try to import

sudo snap install nextcloud
sudo snap connect nextcloud:removable-media
sudo nextcloud.import /mnt/.../backup

rsync: chown "/var/snap/nextcloud/21796/nextcloud/extra-apps/." failed: Operation not permitted (1)
etc...

I don’t understand why.

Why do I get this error?

Thank you

If the backup is outside the folder /var/snap/nextcloud/… it doesn’t work.
