    Yes, it pretty much has to be the backend rejecting it. I'll poke our guys again.

      @codersaur

      My typical config-xxx.xml files are 650 Kbytes or so for a 24.11 on a 4100.
      9+ Mbytes seems a lot to me.

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        @Gertjan The xml files seem to include the rrddata. If I make a manual backup without rrddata the size is ~380 Kb.

        There doesn't seem to be an option in the ACB config page to include/exclude rrd data like there is on the manual Diagnostics > Backup/Restore...

          Since I can't thumb up ATM. Anyways.

          I'm having this same issue as codersaur.

          Look forward to the fix. For now disabled.

          Netgate 4200 24.11

            @williamrolison When did it start failing and can you correlate with any changes on your side? If yours also started failing around 20th Jan that might indicate a server-side change and rule out the WAN IP change a factor. Conversely, if you also had a WAN IP change that might also help track down the root cause.

                The encrypted files uploaded to acb always exclude RRD data so that file size should be no issue. But clearly something is....

                      Have they found anything? Backup is still failing every day.

                                  OK are you still seeing this now? There were some back end changes.

                                      A manual backup just worked for me now.

                                      And I see it did a few on it's own when I re-renabled, as expected.

                                      29df1869-4c9e-4056-aca6-e641f7a3aecf-image.png

                                      Test 1 is me hitting the "Backup now" button. The other 3 is it doing it's thing.

                                      Edit: Installed wireguard as well to be sure it would backup before hand, and it did :)

                                      So works for me now, Thanks!

                                        OK, we'll keep digging then.
