.backup.metadata fails to upload to nextcloud

See original GitHub issue

I am using seedvault with GrapheneOS and realized that the file .backup.metadata is not uploading to my nextcloud. Im not sure if this is an error from nextcloud or seedvault. Here is the corresponding issue at the nextcloud repo: https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/7696

Same problem here on several LOS 18.1 phones using Seedvault with Nextcloud 20.0.11. First backup is working. Then you always get upload errors: photo_2021-07-23_13-34-04

First problem is that Nextcloud asks the user. The backup procedure is triggered by Seedvault - so there shouldn’t be any user interactions necessary. Seedvault must answer these questions. Second problem is that even answering these questions doesn’t solve the problem and the user gets the notification including the question again and again.

I’m not able to say if it is a bug of Nextcloud Server, Nextcloud Android Client or Seedvault. Also I’m not able to say if backups with Seedvault & Nextcloud work at all. Because if only with the first upload the file is saved on the Nextcloud Server, you will make big eyes when you restore your backup and only the first version is restored which was uploaded the first time. Meaning all changes done after the first upload are gone. Then there should be a big warning to the community to NOT USE Seedvault together with Nextcloud.
