Weird, I've been running and updating NextCloud since version 13, and I never had any problems as long as I didn't try to upgrade 2 release up at once and carefully applied the recommended database updates, etc.

Do you run many plugins, or do you keep it fairly stock? I'm beginning to wonder if that could be some of the issue, even though the upgrade guidelines include instructions on upgrading plugins. My setup has otherwise been pretty simple (single host for db and web server hidden behind a separate reverse proxy) and I follow the upgrade guidelines as closely as possible (which is usually exactly). Restoring from a backup doesn't work either because it thinks I'm trying to downgrade the version, which isn't supported.

I just spun up a new instance, I'll see if keeping it simple works for me. It's also on a VM now so I can take a snapshot and roll back to that if it breaks rather than relying on the faulty backup steps.

I have few basic applications : agenda, tasks, deck, music, mail. Not too many.
