I've got a bit of a strange problem.

I've have Scheduled Backups set up for local and SSH; local for 12:30AM and SSH for 1:30AM, both daily. I have already tested the connectivity via the Test Connection, which passed with "Connection established. Username/Password OK." Also, tested transfer via the Test SCP Transfer button, which returned "Test file "ssh_test_secure_copy.txt" transferred successfully." and I can see the file in the destination folder of the remote storage.

However, I am not seeing the tar.gz backups in the remote storage. I am seeing twice as many backups in the Local Backup Archives:

2026-06-04 02:40:45 nagiosxi.1780533000.tar.gz 49.13 GB
2026-06-04 01:41:01 nagiosxi.1780529400.tar.gz 49.13 GB
2026-06-03 02:41:13 nagiosxi.1780446600.tar.gz 49.07 GB
2026-06-03 01:41:13 nagiosxi.1780443000.tar.gz 49.07 GB

I suspect that the backups are storing both for SSH and Local locally. Any ideas?

I'm running 2026R1.5 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Thanks!

Hi @stu18,

I'd recommend checking out the scheduledbackups.log file, which should contain any errors for your SSH backups. It's likely located here, at least on an XI system with default configurations: Hopefully the contents of that log will be enough to highlight the issue, but feel free to post the output here if you'd like help interpreting it.
