Issue 

Starting from Artifactory 7.66, the server path to backup can no longer start with $JFROG_HOME/artifactory directory. Due to this change, once successfully running backups, may fail with the following error:
[ERROR] [ ] [o.a.b.BackupServiceImpl:161  ] [http-nio-8081-exec-7] - Creating a backup inside '/opt/jfrog/artifactory/var/backup' is not allowed.

Solution

We will need to change the current ‘Server Path For Backup’ in Administration -> Artifactory -> Services -> Backups to a different directory path, such as,  '/var/opt/jfrog/artifactory/backup/artifactory'
