Hi,  
This [thread](https://forum.yunohost.org/t/helpers-v2-1-backup-core-only-variable-sans-liaison/34138) may help  
And did you try :

```auto
yunohost app setting calibreweb do_not_backup_data -v 1 (or 0 I guess ?)

```

or  
`export BACKUP_CORE_ONLY=0`\* (or 1 accord to your needs) and then `yunohost backup create --apps calibreweb`  
\*logout/login to reset environment when finished

This issue should be solved if your yunohost is up to date though : [Helpers v2.1 : BACKUP\_CORE\_ONLY is not bind · Issue #2512 · YunoHost/issues · GitHub](https://github.com/YunoHost/issues/issues/2512)

Strange, I also updated one on my instance to 12.0.17 and indeed, the error is not fixed. Maybe it will take some time before it reaches a productive version, idk. Maybe one of the core developer can explain?  
In the meantime, the workaround from my previous post still stand.
