Description

If you run a manual 'Backup now' the back will fail if the Revision Reason field contains the word 'Snort'.

However the auto backups triggered by Snort updates succeed and contain that word.

Capitalisation does not matter, 'snort' also fails.

The ACB page and the system log report report success when this happens but the page returns very quickly indicating it does not actually get sent.

Yeah, this is 'not a bug'. It deliberately does this to prevent Snort filling all the backup space with pointless identical backups.
