Hello and thanks for a great project!

We have a forum running smoothly. All our backups are correctly showing up:

…but no logs:

Is that intended? I would expect to see log messages declaring some sort of success and perhaps with some additional details.

Versions tested: 2.5.0-beta2 and 2.5.0-beta4. Self-hosted.

That’s how it’s supposed to be. Logs are only shown for the latest manual backup. As an admin, you will receive a PM with the log messages if an automatic backup failed.

@gerhard - thanks for clarifying! Should I submit a PR with an improved string message?

> No Logs Yet…

Would be more helpful as:

> No logs yet. Only manual backups are logged and displayed here. Admins are notified by direct messages if automatic backups fail.

Maybe. I would need to see this come up more than once to add that many new translated words..
