automatic Library backup

(1/3) > >>

Ferro:
my jriver doesn't make an automatic library backup anymore.
Manual is no problem
Any idea is welcome

RoderickGI:
I'm sure it does.

Automatic Library Backups are saved to the location set in "Options > File Location > Program Files > Library Backups". Check that is set correctly and is still valid.

Manual Backups will be saved in the location you select, and MC will remember where you stored Manual Library backups so that next time you do one it points to the same location. MC also uses that location when you try to run a Library Restore.

So, automatic Library Backups could be saved in one location, and a Library Restore could show you backups in another location, making it look like there are no automatic Library Backups. But they will be there, in the location as per Options.

I am having the same problem. I am using the latest version 27. I have not had an automatic backup since last June. The folder settings are correct. I have it set to another hard drive. Been that way for over a decade.

mwillems:
One "gotcha" is if your MC instance is a client of another instance of MC (acting as a library server), the client will stop making automatic backups as long as it remains a client.  Some of my clients haven't made an automatic backup in six months or more (which isn't a huge deal except for local playback settings). 

Are any of the folks seeing this issue using MC as a library client?  If so, no auto backups is expected behavior. 

Otherwise, Roderick's advice is the way to go.

I am running a server with 27 which has the problem. My wife runs a server with 26 with no problem. I am going to create a new backup folder and see if that fixes it.
