I tried both OP and [45thj5ej](https://meta.discourse.org/u/45thj5ej)’s solution and neither works for me. When running the script with Powershell it will not find “/backups/” and child item. Also I can not seem to find where OP means where you are supposed to enter your username and password. I am running Discourse on a VPS.
