same issue with me

Had the same issue, ended up being quota reached from a Webmin user (i hate frameworks an didn't think to check for quota restrictions)

Basically, make sure that you check for...

• Sufficient free space on the system/partition (for both backup and new stuff)
• Enough temporary free space on/in the system's temp directory (many of times, tmp folder is size restricted and/or on a partition of it's own -- so check for that)
• Quotas. No set quotas for the user NextCloud run under/with or, that you are well within quota limits currently enforced for php process owner. As it should, optimally, not be a real user, disabling quota altogether will help preventing other quota-related issues that inevitably will arise and for which (as we discovered) verbosity is limited.
• RAM/Memory availability
• Directory ownership/permissions. This also goes for session storage folder, if you are -- and really should be -- using a folder other than /tmp

edit: made it clearer, more defined and added more of the same type of potential fixes. Also, it seems this is something that should be documented or at least handled. The things i mentionned are sometimes overlooked by a few, experienced dudes and dudesses of all planets alike.

Same happens when I try to update from 16.0.6. to 16.0.7.

Same case with me. Make space :)

Same case with me. Make space :)

Thanks for the advice! I have deleted some old Nextcloud backup folders from previous updates, et voilà problem solved.
Those folders keep piling up considerably. I really feel the updater should offer some help on managing/deleting old backups...

check #248 (comment) for a potential fix

Let's cover disk space availability checking work in #523. Closing to centralize tracking there.
