  Thank you for the quick fix. Helped for the domain backups. However, I have seen s slightly different error message but with the same effect:

  Unable to create remote backup. Error: Unable to export backup: Transport error: Unable to create the directory 'ftps://XXX.XXX/files/EXISTINGDIRECTORY/': Curl error: (21) Quote command returned error: Last FTP request: MKD EXISTINGDIRECTORY Last FTP response: 550 Create directory operation failed.

  There seems to be a difference between the remote FTP Backup Manager scripts for the domains and the plesk system. The scheduled FTP backups of plesk  (tools&settings-> backup manager) were working before and not affected. 

  Remark: The aforementioned update is working but the directory at the remote backup system must already exists, it will not be created if not.

  Replacing cuBackupAgent.php did not work for me. Backups are still failing with the "Directory already exists" error.

  Hello Claus Siebeneicher and Steve

  This bug was recently fixed and should be available in the next Plesk Obsidian update. The article will be updated after the fix release.

  The corresponding information will be added here: https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/obsidian/change-log/

  I confirm that "550 Create directory operation failed" may also be a symptom of this bug.

   

  In case the issue would remain the same after the update, consider submitting a support request: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608509-How-to-submit-a-request-to-Plesk-support-

  Unable to find base backup for creation of incremental one, the full backup will be created. Error: Failed to exec pmm-ras: Repository error: Unable to extract index from packed dump

  That's the warning we get.

  Hello Robert

  Usually, this is caused by connectivity issues between Plesk server and remote backup storage.

  However, I would recommend creating a support request to take a closer look.
