I think it did. I managed to get those messages removed from the main
GUI-screen by disabling the backup using "2" from above. Have you tried
disabling it once, reload the server configuration (Admin Options/Reload),
then confirm the error message is gone and then enable the host again
according to your wishes using flag 0, 1 or 2.

Am I getting this right?
