      I've seen a few other posts with this, but typically along with pfblockerNG installed. I do not have pfblockerng installed with mine, but I'm getting the same error occured (unknown error) when configuration changes are made. Backup works and I can verify it's there, but it causes a notification email to be sent because of the error. Only package

      Sep 21 08:37:01 php 33389 /usr/local/sbin/acbupload.php: New alert found: An error occurred while uploading the encrypted configuration to https://acb.netgate.com/save (Unknown error)

      The things I have modified recently have been adding the Snort subscription rules, GeoLite2 database (both of which triggered backup which the logs show no error), and then Tailscale (triggered backup and then the first Unknown Error.)

      Could Tailscale package be causing this?

        I'm seeing the same error, even with pfblockerNG/Suricata disabled. I also have trouble refreshing my restore points, sometimes it'll show an error, but if I keep refreshing it'll bring them up eventually. I see backups from today, so it is working, maybe just intermittently. This started for me last night.

        I also tried going back to a point generated from my last config change a couple days ago. The error persists.

          I'm also seeing backup errors today so I think it's on Netgate's end -- nothing you're doing wrong.
