Creates an empty database backup

What do you mean by this? Can you check the file backup size and also any worker logs for error. You can find it in logs/worker.error.log

worker.error.log shows no error. The sql backup file is blank. The command used is
bench --verbose --site all backup --with-files
The files get backed up properly. Only the database backup is blank. There was one issue I found, Backup creates empty database · Issue #1089 · frappe/bench · GitHub. However, we are using version 12 of erpnext and bench version is 5.8.1.
