Actually I just found it on Github (I had only searched here before posting).

- [x] I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates. ----------------…------------------------ ## Environment info - **Duplicati version**: 2.0.5.1_beta_2020-01-18 - **Operating system**: Windows 10 - **Backend**: Local SATA Harddrive, USB Harddrive, USB Stick ## Description I set up a `--run-script-before` batch script to return `exit 1` when my drive is not attached so that I will not get warnings. The backup information in the home tab of the web server does however change to a 'zero state' after silently aborting the backup due to exit 1 code. On the forum I made a thread where the problem is discussed: [https://forum.duplicati.com/t/warning-folder-x-does-not-exist/10894/2](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/warning-folder-x-does-not-exist/10894/2) . Another issue on Github is: [https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati/issues/4222](https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati/issues/4222) which is about a fatal error, also the `--run-script-after` command is also invoked. My issue is about the zero job statistics. When solving one might want to tackle both issues at the same time since there is a good chance the same parts of the code are involved. ## Steps to reproduce 1. Create new backup, as basic as possible 2. Run the new backup in order to fill the current backup state information 2. Add run-script-before as advanced step, point it to `C:\Duplicati\check_if_X_exists.bat`: ``` exit 1 ``` 3. Run backup again. - **Actual result**: The backup information which contained the size, date of last backup and versions changes to all zeros: ``` Last successful backup: Today at 12:45 PM (took 00:00:00) Run now Next scheduled run: Tomorrow at 12:45 PM Source: 0 bytes Backup: 0 bytes / 0 Versions ``` - **Expected result**: I expect that the information of the last 'successful' / 'not aborted' backup will be displayed. ## Screenshots A screenshot of an empty backup state 'Backup_Noord' and a backup with information 'Test_backup' ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/62965899/96013867-089df000-0e46-11eb-9c98-e5121ab981b6.png) ## Debug log This is the log from About -> Show log -> Live. I think my log looks normal. ``` Oct 14, 2020 5:55 PM: Aborting operation by request, requested result: Normal Oct 14, 2020 5:54 PM: Cannot open WMI provider \\localhost\root\virtualization\v2. Hyper-V is probably not installed. Oct 14, 2020 5:54 PM: Cannot find any MS SQL Server instance. MS SQL Server is probably not installed. Oct 14, 2020 5:54 PM: Using WMI provider \\localhost\root\virtualization\v2 ``` Many thanks for reading this issue. I am happy to assist in any way.

And that referred me to this thread:

which I didn’t find either.

I’m going to change my job back to run-script-before-required, which seems to still work correctly.
