@pfaffman Sorry if this in the wrong place but can I just add that after the rebuild I tried a backup from the admin section, it failed but I got a solid error log and a notification:

So can we assume that a rebuild somewhat fixed the backup process or changed it in some way?
These don’t exist in my screenshot?

Edit: Backup in the admin section worked!!
