Error when attempting System > Config Backups after updating Leap 15.5 to 15.6 (2 days ago) and Rockstor 4.6.0.1 to 5.1.0 (yestersay).
I found that /opt/rockstor/config-backups directory was missing so I created it (I looked here per a 2023 post from someone with the same problem).
After refreshing the browser to clear the Houston message, I could load the page, create a backup, and save off a copy of it.
Previously created backups are now in /opt/rockstor/config-backups-rpmsave. I discovered this courtesy of my backup logs from last night. The backup I created today is in the “old” config-backups directory.
Bottom line: I’m in good shape but not sure if this is a bug or it was intended.
Edit: Including the rockstor log file
