MariaDB remote backup from Windows

I’m trying to ensure that I can backup the MariaDB from a Windows PC

I can connect with HeidiSQL using no ssl no issue

I keep getting

Failed to connect to MariaDB server: SSL connection error: ok.

I’m using

“C:\Program Files\MariaDB 11.8\bin\mariadb-backup.exe” --backup

I’ve tried the options - individually

--skip-ssl 

--ssl-verify-server-cert=0 

--ssl=false 

--disable-ssl-verify-server-cert 

--host=192.168.1.231 --port=3306 --user=root -p=123 --target-dir=c:\bk --verbose

I’ve set a my.ini and confirmed that the ssl default is false

[mariadb-backup]
ssl=false
ssl-ca=false
ssl-capath =false
ssl-cert=false
ssl-cipher=false
ssl-key=false
ssl-crl=false
ssl-crlpath=false
tls-version=false
ssl-fp=false
ssl-fplist=false
ssl-verify-server-cert=false

Now I get

SSL connection error: Failed to set ciphers to use
