Previously, the page to list backups from a backup target might crash if querying the backup files takes too long. This might happen when there is a large number files in a remote backup target or when the request is running with a slow internet connection.

With this Werk, the page will no longer crash. It will instead show an incomplete list of backups that could be queried until the timeout was reached.

A warning is displayed at the top of the page if the list of backups is not complete. When encountering this warning, you might want to remove unneeded files from your remote backup target.
