Unable to backup database from UI

Using domoticz version 2024.7 on windows 11 having rebuilt the database following corruption.
The domoticz app is working fine no errors in the log.
When I try to do a backup I get an empty file created called 'backupdatabase.php'. Backup button was working normally before.
Anyone got any ideas ?

Seems to be an issue with your browser settings. Perhaps try another browser?
Check antivirus scanner?

Hi
I tried another browser with the same result. I also tried the browser on a different domoticz installation and that backed up OK.
It just seems to be a problem on the machine where I had to rebuild the database using sqlite3.

I don't know where the backup database script exists.

That backup script is a symbolic link to an hardcoded sqlite3 function in domoticz.
So it must something wrong with either your installation or your browser. Did it work with a previous installation?
