The after run backup command re-processes the strftime string in BACKUP_DEST and if the backup dest includes minutes/seconds (e.g. %Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S-INC) the after-backup command fails due to missing directory.

Here is an excerpt from a single failed backup’s log.

**Backup destination** Local file /backups/2025-08-02_00-05-00-INC

Running post-backup command ..
The user-provided path /backups/2025-08-02_00-06-14-INC does not exist.
.. failed!

i.e. /backups/2025-08-02_00-05-00-INC is not the same as /backups/2025-08-02_00-06-14-INC (expectation of after-run command returning a different BACKUP_DEST path feels wrong)

Please post the infomation on your system as requested, you can copy and paste from the dashboard, top right-hand side.

That format worked for my.

Ok I see the cause of this bug - we’ll fix it in the next release.
