What issue do you have?

I have Backup configured and when I click on the Tools menu item "Create Backup" I get the following dialog:

Backup plugin
createZipArchive: spawn /Users/butler/.config/joplin-desktop/cache/io.github.jackgruber.backup/7zip-bin/mac/arm64/7za ENOENT

A backup file is not created in my configured directory.

This issue should be fixed in this Joplin commit — a fix should be in the next prerelease version.

For now, a workaround is to uninstall Simple Backup. The version of Simple Backup that's included with Joplin can then be used to create backups (see comment).
