When a site has "Zero Downtime Deployment" enabled, any File Backups only back up the symlink, and not any actual site files. This can easily go unnoticed as no alert is issued, because the backup task thinks it has completed successfully.

The fix for this, is still coming. For now, the bypass is rather easy, change your backup path from:

/home/ploi/example.com

to:

/home/ploi/example.com-deploy

Note the appended -deploy.
