Mixcraft Auto Backup not Working

Post by Htos_Drol »

Hello

The auto backup on my version of Mixcraft 9 (64 Bit Build 469) stopped working. It was working fine until 6/16/2022 and then nothing.
The 'Create Backup File Whenever Project is Saved' box is checked.

Thoughts? Thanks!

Hi,

It's working for me.

You're not having any problems saving projects? What's the pathname to the backup folder?

If you make a new project and save it, is a backup project created?

When I make a new project, it takes me to the Mixcraft root folder, at which point I navigate to where I want to save the new project.

However, on the one project on which I'm working, there hasn't been a backup saved since 6/16/2022.

Hi,

So, a test project works, but the project in question is not working. What is the pathname to the project folder that's not working?

What's your Default Recording Folder in Recording preferences? Is the project in question inside that location?

Actually, what pathname does the project have on the Project tab? Is that where you're looking for the backup project folder?

Thank you for the screenshot.

Somehow the path got changed to another path and all of my backups had been redirected.

I learned something today!!! :D

Thank you for the help!
