Tar file from Backups contains only directories

Backups created with FreePBX contains only directories but no more files that exist in these directories. Backups of the databases are available in the TAR file: the ASTDB as well as the MySQL databases asterisk and asteriskcdr.
I know that was not the case in the beginning. Yesterday I discovered this by accident. Since I delete the oldest files, I currently have no current backup.
An authorization problem I exclude, since the file permissions in my opinion are correct (asterisk.asterisk, rw-rw-r) and there is no error message.
I have no idea where to start searching. My customers do not have such a problem. The backup definitions I do everywhere the same.

What version of FreePBX? Using FreePBX Distro?

Oh, I am sorry. I use FreePBX 14. The core module has version 14.0.13.4, the Backup module has version 14.0.10.3.
I have installed the machine from the FreePBX-Distro-CD but without the package freepbx. Instead I have used the FreePBX tarball.
As I said, none of my clients have this problem, even though I did the installation via Tarball at each one.

I would think that the freepbx.log would have some details.

If you run a fwconsole backup what is shown?

It might be a good idea to also do a fwconsole chown just in case.

There is an error in /var/log/asterisk/backup.log:
data: sh: --exclude=node_modules: command not found
But I don’t exclude something in the backup definitions.

The backup log:

Should I give an addidional argument?

I already have made fwconsole chown.

I have found the solution: the program rsync was not installed anymore. FreePBX should say that, if it is missing.
