File System Backup from Webmin - Variables in Path / File Name?

SYSTEM INFORMATION
Rocky 9.2 REQUIRED
Virtualmin 7.7 Pro REQUIRED

I am running a custom app on my Virtualmin server (SimpleHelp, a remote support / access tool). The app is installed in /opt/SimpleHelp - so far, so good.

I’d like to make a scheduled backup of this directory since it’s not in one of the Virtual Server folders. Using the Webmin File Backup module, I was able to set up a backup, using %Y-%m-%d in the file name in case I need to roll back more than one iteration / week. When I ran the backup, I got the following message:

Warning! Some backup jobs use % in their filenames, but strftime substitution is not enabled on the Module Config page.”

I checked, but I don’t see an option to enable strftime anywhere - I am guessing I am just missing it, but which module / where is this to configure it?

Thank you!

… yes. It was so pale I didn’t even see it. (That, and / or I need more coffee.)

Thank you!
