I believe there is a bug somewhere in the Backup-Plug that causes backups to be deleted instead of updated. Just checked the designated folder for Joplin backups and found it completely empty.
My Windows-backup tells me that at 18:38 the folder was empty, the previous backup at 17:49 contained the backup-jex and the profile folder. In the hour between those two backups the Joplin-files have apparently been deleted/removed.
The backups are not updated (Add or delete some files), but created each time.
The normal procedure of the plugin to creating a backup is as follows:
Create a backup under a new name
Delete old backup
Move new backup
After a backup run you had no backup?
Did you get a error message?
You can activate the logging, the log file is than stored under ~/.config/joplin-desktop/cache/io.github.jackgruber.backup/backup.log.
sorry for the late reply; only saw your post just now.
No idea whether there was a backup run just before; I just noticed that there was no longer a backup file.
No, no error message
Thanks for the logging tip; I'll activate that and check the next time this occurs.
Cheers,
kai.
PS - just checked the settings; "Error" is set in the logging, directory does not contain a .log-file. In fact, all 3 files are from August (probably from when I installed the plugin).
PPS - on my pc the logfile is created in the same folder as the .jex-backup ...
