Auto Config Backup always reports success
100%
Description
The 'Backup Now' function always reports 'Backup completed successfully.' even if the backup to the server failed. If the login credentials are bad for example.
It would be better to report the actual logged output there since that function is really only used for diagnostic purposes. Incorrectly reporting success is just confusing.

I just removed the misleading "success" noise as part of https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/234 - as noted there, there's nothing relevant to check for success in the code there. Any status reporting would need to be done elsewhere.

Well, actually there's some output needed no matter what, to provide some indication that the Backup button works. Redid the thing checking for write_config() result, that should at least report a failure for users with user-config-readonly priv.

Works (at least for cases where write_config() returns false, and there's not really much else that could be done here.)
