Failed to save backup : Invalid characters in FTP server password

Hello,

When trying to create a Webmin scheduled backup (Webmin > Backup configuration files), the FTP backup fails with the message Failed to save backup : Invalid characters in FTP server password.

However, the same password is used for Virtualmin backups of virtual servers without a problem (the backup is successful and the files are correctly written to the remote FTP).

Tha password used is: G*uC5&3@dWa_s$t_uGO9p3ds

Status: 
Active

You can't use an @ in the password unfortunately, as it will confuse the internally generated backup URL which is formatted like ftp://user:pass@host/path
