i use mariadb and now my db backups are failing because of this error:

`mysqldump: Deprecated program name. It will be removed in a future release, use '/usr/bin/mariadb-dump' instead`

Well it is not failing, it's telling you its deprecated. It can't hurt for now.

@dennis

then is there an issue with db backups?


```
mysqldump: Deprecated program name. It will be removed in a future release, use '/usr/bin/mariadb-dump' instead
  adding: test-2024-10-09-091736.sql (deflated 64%)

The user-provided path /home/ploi/.ploi/test-2024-10-09-091747.zip does not exist.
```

my folder **/home/ploi/.ploi**  only contains this file **test-2024-10-09-091738.zip**

filenames doesnt seem to match.

I've got a similar issue. Since this morning my backups on a certain server are failing.

```
adding: redacted-name-2024-10-09-101723.sql (deflated 43%)

The user-provided path /home/ploi/.ploi/redacted-name-2024-10-09-101726.zip does not exist.

I did not change anything, but I woke up to an email telling me my backups failed.
