Auto Configuration Backup not saving

It's a Netgate 7100 running 22.05-RELEASE .
The notice is showing up immediately, no reboot requiered.

Try as a test using very basic values in the ACB setup, like 12345 as the password and nothing else.
Is there anything in the system logs after triggering the issue?

Ah, OK. Is it always that line if just repeat it? What part of the config is that in your file?

Looking at similar bugs in the past they have been caused by incorrect handling of unexpected characters. What exactly are you entering in the ACB settings?
