ITFlow couldn't write a backup key to config.php, so it can't make an encrypted backup. Make config.php writable by the web server's user and come back to this page - or add $config_backup_key = '<32 random characters>'; to it yourself.

Your backup key

Every backup is locked with it, and without it none can be restored - on this server or another. Keep a copy somewhere other than this server, as a password manager.

Backups are kept in . Copy them somewhere else too - a backup on the same disk goes with it. Maintenance > Backup downloads one, or takes one now.
