FPP Backup is not working

[atticusm]

FPP Version and Hardware: FPP v8.4.2 (v8.4 branch) on two different controllers. 2 K32's and 1 PI

Describe the bug and Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to Status/Control
2. Click on FPP Backup
3. Click Download Configuration

Expected behavior:
Json downloads

Additional context:
Only 1 of my controllers allows me to download the backups. Under FPP Download there are no existing backups displayed. Clicking on 'Download Configuration' will either load a blank page or throw error. Manually POSTing the backup API results in error.

Hi @atticusm ,

Can you try to load http://primarycontroller-ip/api/backups/configuration/list in your browser?
Do you get a error returned once the page loads or is it just blank? Also it seem blank but on the page it may just have empty square brackets like "[]"

I'm expecting a error or something but just want try confirm where it's falling over

Thank you for responding. Here is what I get: [image: image.png]

Unfortunately the image didn't come through, can you try again?, if there is error text would able to copy/paste it here might be easier?
