Auto Configuration Backup - "Backup now" working?

[furom]

Hi,

I have 'Auto Configuration Backup' configured, seems to work fine. When I just tried to use the feature "Backup now" to make a manual backup prior enabling pfSense, it seemed to work but backup is nowhere to be found.

I filled in 'Revision Reason' and hit 'Backup'. Then entering the 'Restore' link, it is simply not there. Am I using this wrong? It is set to keep 5 manual backups. I have checked the manpage; https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/autoconfigbackup.html

Thanks

Usually you need to wait a couple of minutes until the backup is visible in the list.
When I do a manual backup is lasts between 2 and 5 minutes until I am able to see the backup.

@furom Manual backup has been reported broken elsewhere in these forums and probably for a long time.

FWIW, I just did a test and it showed up about 3 minutes later.

@provels I just did a test and it does work.

Strange. Tested now again, and this time it showed up immediately. The one from yesterday is yet to show though... But that is still a finding, then I know that it in fact does work.

Thanks guys!
