Warning "This item is currently encrypted"

[roman_r_m]

I was setting up my profile backup following this comment

Best method to backup notes

Best way, if you can, is to use the command line tool along with the export command and export at a regular intervals from a cron script. Even better if you can version this in a Git repository. This is the cron script I use for backup: #!/bin/bash # 0 0 10,15/12 * * /home/laurent/scripts/joplin_bak.sh >> /var/log/joplin_bak.log 2>&1 BACKUP_DIR="/path/to/backup_dir" JOPLIN_BIN="$HOME/.npm-global/bin/joplin" $JOPLIN_BIN sync $JOPLIN_BIN e2ee decrypt cd "$BACKUP_DIR" rm -f *.md rm -f resourc…

I'm not using e2ee so I commented out the line $JOPLIN_BIN e2ee decrypt

But when I run this I'm getting this message:

This item is currently encrypted: note "4a1d16eef06746adb2abede456e95a06". Please wait for all items to be decrypted and try again.

This does not seem right. Firstly I'm not using encryption and secondly I found this note in dropbox and it's not encrypted - the text is readable and there's no mention of encryption being enabled in the note metadata:

Is it just a case of bad logging?
