Hi,
I have merged the topics into the right board.
Unfortunately, there is no way of making a backup other than with vManager. This is because the backup itself is created by vManager based on many different packets and protocol versions etc.
Can you tell me what issues you are experiencing with the VPN connection and vManager? Which operating system are you using? Which version of vManager are you using? (In case of Windows, is it the *.exe from the website or downloaded through the Microsoft Store)
Greetings,
Bootsy
