Issues with create_backup()

I am using a Raspberry pi as my Unifi controller(version atag_6.0.45_14358), and I am trying to take backup of it. I get the error message: Exception has occurred: IndexError list index out of range File "C:\Users\mabor\OneDrive - IT Relation\Skrivebord\Python\Private\Unifi\UnifiAP.py", line 31, in CreateBackup=c.create_backup()

This is basically my code(edited to remove unneeded things and passwords and so on):

from future import print_function

import argparse import time from collections import defaultdict

from pyunifi.controller import Controller

ControllerIP="192.168.254.111" Username="" Password="" Port="8443" #Management port, default is 8443 Version="v5" #Default version is v5 Siteid="default" #Default siteID in Unifi

c = Controller(ControllerIP, Username, Password, Port, Version, Siteid ,ssl_verify = False)

CreateBackup=c.create_backup() time.sleep(15) print(CreateBackup)

Backup=c.get_backup(CreateBackup)

print(Backup)

I got it to work by editing the function create_backup(). Before I started: def create_backup(self, days='0'): """Ask controller to create a backup archive file

    ..warning:
        This process puts significant load on the controller
        and may render it partially unresponsive for other requests.

    :param days: metrics of the last x days will be added to the backup.
        '-1' backup all metrics. '0' backup only the configuration.
    :return: URL path to backup file
    """
    res = self._run_command('backup', mgr='system', params={'days': days})
    return res[0]['url']

I changed mgr='system" to mgr='backup' and then it worked. This seems to be due to the fact that run_command uses the mgr in its API call. I installed pyunifi using pip install pyunifi on my windows machine. I use pyunifi version pyunifi==2.20.1
