Android Question AutoBackupFolder failure

PhilipBrown · Aug 10, 2019

If I set AutoBackupFolder in the ini file to a folder name without specifying the path I get an error message at the bottom of the B4A window.
If it set it to folder specifying the full path I get no error message but no backups get saved.
What am I doing wrong?

Is AutoBackup enabled in the IDE?

Beside that it can be configured in the IDE: Make sure to have the ide not running when editing the ini.

ini-File-Content

AutoBackup=True
AutoBackupFolder=E:\Basic4android\Backups

works for me.

Yes AutoBackup works if I do not add anything to the AutoBackupFolder field
Yes I restart the IDE each time I edit the ini file.

Any value other than blank fails to create any backups.

You need to set a full (absolute) path. It should work. Make sure that you set it correctly.
