Research direction

Reproduce the failure with php occ backup:point:create using an SFTP destination, then start at lib/private/Files/Storage/Common.php:209 and follow the storage wrapper frames shown in the trace. Done means identifying and resolving the failure so the backup completes over SFTP.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

NC 24.0.4
Backup app 113
