Activity log gets completely swamped when backup server not available

While waiting for the DirectAdmin importer, we're trying out different Enhance features and evaluating whether we can make it work for our customers. One of the things we noticed is that when only one server has a backup role and that server is accidentally turned off, the activity log fills with thousands and thousands of entries. It seems the retry rate and the verbosity of the logging might not be ideal. Just my two cents.

You're right this is something we need to improve. This will be fixed in 12.0.0 because the way backups are initiated has totally changed; they are now initiated from the assigned web/db/email server for the website and don't rely on the control panel server at all.

Ah. Would that explain why backups are happening (as seen on individual domains) but the activity log when I first log into Enhance isn't showing them?

Makes it hard to quickly glance if backups are actually happening when the Activity Log then stops.

Is anyone else getting errors in the activity log for the panel and other service domains failed to backup? even though they have no backup role assigned.
