By cronjob I weekly make a System Backup to my backup ftp server. Since February 15, 2026 it is failing to upload to my ftp server.
When I manually press "run system backup", I can see temp files are created in /backup and deleted afterwards. But the upload fails. All working perfectly with "Admin Backup and Restore" that has the same ftp paths, user and login details.
When I check the message in Admin/messages there is no mention of a ftp error, just something about Apache. But I do not use Apache but OLS.
" Your backups are now ready" --> well they are not! Why not a failure message like with Admin Backup and Restore?
I suspect "Performing Apache backup: Backup path for apache invalid, aborting...", is the reason for failing. But as said earlier, I use OLS and I think CB removed Apache when building OLS.
Is this a bug in the DA "System Backup" script? And if not, how to fix?
Additionally please add an option for secure FTP as option in "System Backup" like there is in "Admin Backup and Restore".
