      It's been more than 4 days that this below error keeps popping up in the firewall:

      5:00:09 An error occurred while uploading your Netgate pfSense Plus configuration to https://acb.netgate.com/save (<html>

        It appears to be working normally.

          Hi @steve_b ,

          Then why is this error starting to show up on SG-3100 every day?:

            I don't know. You asked if acb.netgate.com is down. It is not.

            If you DM me the NDI of your firewall I will check the server logs.

                It's probably because you are trying to backup at 1h scheduled intervals and exactly on the hour, when a lot of other people are. Recent versions of ACB have included a random element to the scheduling to prevent that. If yours was created some time ago edit the ACB settings and choose a minute value that isn't 0.

                  Hi @stephenw10 ,

                  I don't use an hourly schedule. Here is my backup setting:

                    Hmm, maybe just coincidence that the two failure logged were on the hour. I assume it did not fail in between those times?

                      Not between them, but I got another one again just a few hours ago:

                        Hmm, well again it was in minute 0. I'll ask our admins to check the server again.

                          The system rate limiter has been adjusted to accommodate a greater backup frequency. Let's see if that helps.

                            @steve_b Thank you for the update. I'll monitor it and report back.

                              I just received another one:
                              Screenshot from 2021-08-03 11-10-31.png

                              I'm at work and haven't even logged in on my home pfSense to change any configuration since yesterday morning but still receiving random backup notifications.

                              Is there any way to reset the auto-backup feature and remove all old backups without resetting the whole pfSense to factory default?

                                Are you running pfBlockerNG?

                                    OK good. pfBlocker makes a config change once per hour about on the hour. The system is supposed to filter those out from the backup system. I suspect it is doing so correctly but returning an incorrect HTTP status n some cases. I should be able to investigate more tomorrow.

                                      @steve_b Did you find anything? I'm getting several notifications every day randomly on the hour. Should I change to a daily (or some other scheduled) backup to resolve this?

                                          I had 2 to 3 failed backup notifications per day on Netgate SG-3100 Version 21.05.1 and changed the backup method to fix it. Scheduled backup once per day was what I ended up doing as I wanted to keep the pfBlockerNG-devel installed.
