tar all files into /tmp/307745993/azrwYDEkBp.tar
tar: empty archive
exit status 1`
```

I have checked from local to spc to the server and i downloaded the file with no problems.

Any idea with that? I have been reading some related issue but i didnt find a solution. Thanks in advance!

Research direction

Start with the workflow snippet and the reported `tar: empty archive` output, then reproduce the action using the server-side SQL source path and `backup` target. Done means the action successfully archives and downloads the specified SQL file instead of failing with an empty archive.
