Virtualmin Backup over SSH problem

I wish to scheduled backup over ssh to other virtualmin server but i get that error:

and i wish to delete old backups 60 days etc. But if i enable that function then i get this error:

Failed to save scheduled backup : Deletion of old backups cannot be enabled, as the base directory could not be extracted from the destination path. It must be a path like /backup/virtualmin-%d-%m-%Y, and cannot be a top-level directory

this is my line: /DOMAIN BACKUPS/MARKO/FULL/%d-%m-%Y

what is wrong here?4

With best regards!

Marko.

Howdy,

Hmm, is there any chance you could post a screenshot of your backup screen there?

One thing to verify though is to ensure that the strftime substitutions option has been enabled.
