Hi guys,
Somewhere along the line, my automatic backup settings went away-- looks like about the same time as I upgraded to 7.2.11-- really unfortunate, as I had a project get corrupted here from a power outage-- the server has a ups on it, but but my pc doesn’t, and I just happened to be working on the project at the time. Then when I went to look for my backup…
Luckily, I still had the context autobackup to fall back on, but just wanted to give you a heads up about what I had going.
Wow, thanks for the heads up. Just went and checked mine and they have not run since the update either.
I have
7.2.11-beta1 (b209)
and mine are still running.
Do we have a fix for this?
Looks like a permission issue.

Make sure that folder has read/write access for the system account Ignition is running under.
Maybe I should iterate a bit further. My scheduled backups weren’t even enabled. Everything went okay after re-enabling (and still is for that matter). I just thought it was extra-odd.
I put in a ticket to get this fixed.
