I have Nextcloud installed as a snap. I would like to back it up to a folder on a separate drive within the server. Nextcloud appears to have an official backup app, which I have installed on the Nextcloud instance.
Is it possible to connect a folder on a separate drive to Nextcloud running as a snap? What permissions should such a folder have?

I use
nextcloud.export
which comes with the snap (https://github.com/nextcloud-snap/nextcloud-snap/wiki/How-to-backup-your-instance), but the backup app looks nicer.
