yes the automated back up failed, but also fails if I run it manually.
I tried sql query as shown above but it did not show the backup in question with the negative file size. It showed 17 entries. The file names shows the course name - and the course with the negative file size is not shown.
I will take a look at backing up to a designated directory as well.
