Bug #16915
open
Diagnostics / Backup & Restore / Backup Configuration / Backup area / RRD Data always exports a 0B size file
0%
Description
if you go to Diagnostics / Backup & Restore / Backup Configuration / Backup area / and select RRD Data, it always exports a zero byte file with no data.
happens on both pfSense + 26.03.1 and community edition 2.8.1
this is a regression since it used to work on prior editions (not sure which versions, the last working files i have are from 2020 but it stopped working sometime before end of 2023)
very low priority. the work around is to restore RRD data from a full backup file.

Could not reproduce on 26.03.1 are you selecting a specific area? could you provide the screen shots. I went though various combinations and all files where more then 0B

- File rrd rs config with rrd.png rrd rs config with rrd.png added
- File backup rrd data.png backup rrd data.png added
attached are screenshots of the files generated by; backup up the entire config, and backing up just the rrd portion. you can see its zero bytes
also a screen shot of what i did to generate the rrd data file
a month or so ago i posted it as part of a problem i was having and Steve Wheeler stephenw10 duplicated it on 26.03.1
if you need anything else let me know.
