What is directory with empty name inside backup archive?

[AlekseiGPP]

Hello! I update Confluence instance from 6.12.2 to 6.13.0. When i create backup archive, its create directory with empty name inside. What is this? I cannot check, what inside. Could you, please, fix zip archiving? Backup-restore procedure was successfully.

Here is screenshot of backup archives, created in 6.12.2 (left) and 6.13.0 (right).

There does not appear to be a problem with this.  You'll be able to restore from it fine.  Could you explain the concern in full?

Whats wrong with archive? It looks like a bug with archiving. I cannot check, what inside this directory. Could you explain, how to open this directory and why previous version's backups do not contain such directory inside archive?

It's your operating system that is struggling to open the directory, you need to use a file browser that can cope with the name properly.

Older backups didn't have it because they simply didn't need it.  The latest version has a use for it.

Nic, do not spam, please, Its not solution and not answer on question.

At first screenshot archive opened in Total Commander and WinRAR archiver on windows OS.

Another example with empty folder name is under Midnight Commander on CentOS. Same situation. Its not problem with operating system, its problem with backup archiving mechanism.

Spam?  Don't be so silly.  It is an answer to your question.  It's not my fault you don't understand it and/or don't like it.

There is nothing wrong with the archiving, it's working fine.  It's something you're doing to look at it.
