"Failed to save scheduled backup : Deletion of old backups is only supported when a date-based destination is used, and strftime substitutions are enabled"

hello, i have an issue when i try to do “Create Scheduled Backup” when i select yes on “delete old backups” i got this issue “Failed to save scheduled backup : Deletion of old backups is only supported when a date-based destination is used, and strftime substitutions are enabled” and tells me to go to line 80 on /usr/share/webmin/virtual-server

and even when i select no in “Deletion of old backups” i got this error " Failed to save scheduled backup : Only signed backups can be restored by virtual server owners"
can anyone help?

I guess if you don’t save in a Date/Time format it doesn’t know what the old files are?

/home/backup/webmin/webmin_configuration_backup_%y%m%d_%H:%M.tar.gz

No clue on the second one. It works for me on Debian 11.

@ID10T thanks for ur respond, and it worked but rn i got this error

I’m not sure what has to be done to enable user backup but I found this setting. Mine is set to no.

thanks, just had to select “no” on [Can be restored by virtual server owners]
