This can happen if the backup command produces no output, or little output that is not enough to fill the output buffer. Now that the web GUI supports global options, you can add the -v option as a workaround.

The current implementation of the log viewer is very dumb – it simply keeps reading the file and can’t detect if the file has been closed. I’ll work on a smarter log viewer for the next version.

Understood. Indeed, adding -v results in a log being displayed.
