@jorgy Hello again and apologies for the slow response.

This looks very much like:

and fixed in testing channel release as of:

via the following pull request:

https://github.com/rockstor/rockstor-core/pull/1773

These changes are due for inclusion in the next stable release.

The config backup file is human readable (just about once unzipped) but if you are careful (especially with indentation) you may find a work around by looking to the single one line change that ended up being the fix in the above referenced pr. You may have to restart your Rockstor service for the edit to take effect however.

Hope that helps.
