I am attempting to make a backup of my Strapi instance and I cant seem to get it to work… i get this error about the graphQL plugin not being installed but yet it runs fine … graphql works as expected so thats weird?

but anyhow when I do strapi export I end up with this error

PS C:\Users\GitPC\Documents\GitHub\strapi> strapi export --no-encrypt
C:\Users\GitPC\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\@strapi\strapi\dist\core\loaders\plugins\index.js:83
      throw new Error(
            ^
