If additional download_path isnt available, Backups get not created / event backup_failed not fired

The problem

If download_path: isn't available, even a regular local Backup doesn't get created. Worse, in that Case auto_backup.backup_failed isn't triggered.

Only in the Trace of the Automation the Error gets logged: Stopped because an error was encountered at February 10, 2023 at 09:00:00 (runtime: 0.03 seconds) not a directory @ data['download_path'][0]

I would expect, that even if there is a Problem with the download_path (for whatever, unintended, Reason) at least the Local Backup still gets created. Additionally, a backup_failed - Event would help to become aware of that Situation.

What version of Auto Backup has the issue?

1.3.0

What version of Home Assistant are you running?

Home Assistant 2023.1.7

What type of installation are you running?
