So yes I am running 7.8.5, yes we are planning to upgrade. (shame on me lol)  
But right now backups are scheduled to the default every 15 minutes. But no backups are in the folder. I am seeing this error in the logs:

```auto
2:45:00 PM	ScheduledBackupManager	Error while executing scheduled backup.
