Backup in 0.3.9 on Windows Vista uses invalid filename
Posted: Tue Jul 29, 2008 12:55 pm
With the location box showing local:d:\Rel-version-3\BirdTrack.0.3.9, I clicked on Backup. Backup invited me to save the backup using the following filename:
relbackup_d:_Rel-version-3_BirdTrack_0_3_9_2008_July_29_01_44_PM.d
I decided to take that and I eventually got the message saying the backup had been successful. However, no file of that name appeared in the directory I was saving into. Instead, I got a file named relbackup_d (looking suspiciously like the characters up to and excluding the colon). However, that file had nothing in it.
[Actually, I first discovered the problem on version 0.3.8, where I took the backup with the intention of restoring it in version 0.3.9; but it's okay, Dave, I had taken other precautions against losing my entire database!]
