Hi Catalin,

Thank you for the feedback.

Unfortunately, the functionality remains affected for me.  Although I
selected "Use custom local backup directory" and clicked away the
messages that came up a couple of times, selected the external drive,
clicked away the messages a couple more times, it appeared to keep the
selected external drive, so I saved the configuration, then attempted to
run a backup.  I then received the error:
An error occurred
Not enough free space in the target directory for the planned backup
(free: 166120 MiB 484 KiB, required: 218136 MiB 308 KiB 698).

Upon checking, it was attempting to use the default backup directory
(/var/backup), not the external drive.

So I am still without a convenient backup tool (I have tried Deja Dup,
but don't like it, especially when I need to restore a file).

Regards,

I have the same problem after the 13.4 update, but it doesn't seem to
have affect the functionality of simple backup. I just click away a
couple of such messages and then it works fine.
