Brief description of the issue:
My Ubuntu system is set up on an mdadm RAID1 installation. The OS is on a RAID1 and the backup partition is on another RAID1 (/mnt/backupstorage0). The GRUB installation is on a separate hard disk which is not in a RAID.
The problem is, that when I execute "sudo rear -v mkbackup" it says everything is OK, I get no errors, but it doesn't create the GRUB2 menu entry. I also tried entering "sudo update-grub" but that doesn't help.
The actual backup ISO is created successfully.

By quickly checking ReaR sources GRUB_RESCUE with UEFI is a bit misleading.
ReaRs boot entry is not included in Grub but you should rather check your UEFI boot menu.
Executing efibootmgr -v should reveal ReaR boot entry.
The former GRUB2 superuser setup support in ReaR via GRUB_SUPERUSER is dropped and
also the former GRUB2 password setup support in ReaR via GRUB_RESCUE_PASSWORD is dropped.
Both kind of setup can change the behaviour of the GRUB2 bootloader as a whole in unexpected ways
but ReaR is not meant to change the general GRUB2 configuration of the currently running system.
It works by default reasonably backward compatible when formerly a GRUB_SUPERUSER was used
which means a GRUB2 superuser was set up by ReaR in /etc/grub.d/01_users with GRUB_RESCUE_PASSWORD
so that the empty GRUB_RESCUE_USER results that the 'Relax-and-Recover' GRUB2 menue entry
can only be booted by the formerly set GRUB_SUPERUSER with the formerly set GRUB_RESCUE_PASSWORD.
