Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported setup with Nextcloud 25.0.5, Backup 1.2.0, and a local restore point at /mnt/backup. Inspect the cron-generated log entries alongside occ backup:point:list, then determine why SignatureException is reported while both instances remain green in the Health column.
