Hmm... I'll check this.

[skurudo]

In older version on / where symlink backup to /home/backup folder
But in new version you can choose, where you backup will be -> /edit/server/ -> Backup

As you see, if you have fresh install, there is backup in /, but if you upgraded - then you have symlink and archives in /home/backup.

Thanks for the reply skurudo, that explains it, this was a new install.
