Hi,

I think there is a button missing to cancel “Backup Now” operation. It is no longer possible to go back if you decide to no longer make the backup...

 

Thanks,

Lorenzo

The toolbar was always disabled on that page. Also, why add a back button when your browser has a perfectly serviceable back button itself? :)

... I thought in Joomla back-end it was better to use Joomla own navigation buttons.
In Joomla 3 there was a button to come back to control panel...

The only reason you have Cancel buttons in edit pages is that items get checked out. Using the Cancel button checks the item back in.

The Backup Now page is not an edit page. It does not check anything out. There's no need for a cancel button, really.
