Failed to format #50

I have no clue what I've done wrong, I'm very out of my element with all this. I have no coding experience so I'm just throwing darts. I tried to put my password in a txt file and do the "-P password.txt" but it had no difference.

error: failed to open backup file: unable to open backup file: FindFirstFile signal-XXX.backup: The system cannot find the file specified.

Windows 10 64-bit Build version 4.17.5

Because you are using the wrong filename. signal-xxx.backup is a placeholder, you need to use YOUR filename. Try that and it will find it. In your case: signal-2019-03-07-22-32-23.backup I presume from the image.
