When you switch between options in the Backup destinations dropdown menu underneath Virtualmin > Backup & Restore > Backup Virtual Servers > Destination & Format, the Backup format section magically vanishes:

A bug?

This is not a bug.

What’s the intention behind that the section disappears?

A download link does not need you to provide any information about the destination, so it doesn’t ask.

I’m not referring to the destination. The section called “backup format” disappears. I made a GIF to make it clear.

It can only be a single file archive for a download link.

Also, you probably don’t want to use the download link option. For large backups, it’s just a pain.

Why do you present two options initially then? Shouldn’t there just one option be presented by default (under “Download via link”)? Not really bothered but a not-so-optimal user experience.

Oh, that is a bug.

I’ll ask @Ilia to have a look.

Ah, good catch! Thanks for reporting this! I’ve fixed it now, along with another bug related to the “Backup level” row.
