Hello,

I used to have entries in "Task History" for each container or VM that informed about the daily backup. Since January 11th 2022, there are no further entries anymore.
The filter is set to show ALL entries.

Should it really be like this?
Is there a way for the backup entries to be shown again?
 
Did the backup task logs before that point disappear, or are there no new ones showing up?

Additionally, please make sure the backup jobs are actually still running successfully.
 
No new ones are showing up. I can still see the old ones.
Backup jobs are still running successfully, yes.
 
Should it really be like this?
I am not aware of anything that changed in this regard, so that it would no longer create a task log.

Are other task logs still created normally? (E.g. VM start/stop, ...)
Please check the system logs after such a backup job has run (You can do so with journalctl) for anything that might indicate why the task log could not be created and post it here.
 
Other task logs look normal.

Partial output from journalctl from yesterday. Nothing unusual afaics.
