For some reason I am no longer able to trigger an automated backup with Tasker after the latest update and can only backup manually.

Furthermore, it now beeps for every single message backed up and never did this before.

Anyone else experience this? What can I do to fix it? Should I remove myself from beta?

Thanks for any insight. I need my automated backups. I've done this for years.

Android version
Android 8.0
Phone model / brand

You can hold the notification in Android and make it silent so that there's no notification.

Also, automatic backups don't seem to work, even with the latest backup. I always have to manually trigger a backup. I turned on advanced logging, but there's nothing in the logs. Let me know if you need more information

edit: in the latest beta, it does seem to work for me if i turn on the old backup scheduler.
