Hi @orkowizard

Just tested it on my Storage Provider (miner) it works as expected here, so not an issue.

This environment should be set in the same terminal, that run the lotus-miner:

export LOTUS_BACKUP_BASE_PATH=/root/lotus-backups
lotus-miner run

then in other terminal: lotus-miner backup /root/lotus-backups/backup.cbor

From my testing:

lotus-miner backup /raid5/reiers/SP_Backup/11-3-22.cbor
Success

Miner log: 2022-03-11T21:55:52.583+0100 INFO backupds backupds/datastore.go:130 Datastore backup done
