Backup Schedule doesn't work

[needhelppp]

Hi.
I have setup backup before on my other DA server, I had LONG issues there finding out why it cannot be setup, until I realised that Ip allow has to be done on both backup and that server CSF config for it to work.
Now I have same issue, even though, i have copied settings for FTP connection, and all IPs are added in CSF allow, but it still does not work. When I try to schedule it, it gives me error: FTP information invalid.
after that i try again and see that cron times are default and in FTP settings the password becomes: XXXXXXXXXX

Any ideas? I mean its absurd. I have one server backing up fine, and other with same settings does not work. Also I can login via FTP and SFTP perfectly fine from my own pc...
