Description of my issue:

I upgraded my website to PHP 8.0.3. When I tried to run a backup I got the error "fclose(): Argument #1 ($stream) must be of type resource, null given" Reverting PHP to 7.4.16 resolved the problem. I don't need any action - this is just a heads-up for you.

Thanks for great software

I need more information, especially where this comes from, since I have not been able to reproduce it with PHP 8 which I am obviously supporting.
