Backup failed because There are no files to be backed up

[ultrono]

Hi,

I've been using this package for ages without issue. I have a Laravel application running version 6.16.5 of this package.

I'm only backing up the database and have a scheduled command defined as followed:

$schedule
    ->command(\Spatie\Backup\Commands\BackupCommand::class, ['--only-db'])
    ->everyFourHours();

Again, this has worked without issue for a long time.

Running php artisan backup:run --only-db outputs: "Backup failed because There are no files to be backed up.."

Running php artisan backup:run works, both files and the database are backed up.

I did see a random issue that recommended I change the config setting backup.source.files.include to an empty array. However, that gave the same error as above.

Many Thanks

Rob

Tried upgrading to to 7.8.0.

Running php artisan backup:run --only-db still gives the same output:

[user@domain public_html]$ php artisan backup:run --only-db
Starting backup...
Dumping database tasks...
Determining files to backup...
Backup failed because There are no files to be backed up..
