Re: Backup and Restore creating zero byte zip files
« on: July 28, 2024, 12:32:02 PM »
This morning I have twice tried using the built in Backup and Restore to create a backup of SystemV46/Programs/Work/Games and Applications.

Both times this has appeared to be successful - it displays the "Creating", "Compiling" and "Saving" stages - but when I check the created zip files they are zero byte and empty.  I am using a freshly formatted (to FAT32) SanDisk 32GB USB 3.0 Stick which works fine on my Windows PC.

I am on the latest version: 46.1.776
The SanDisk 32GB USB 3.0 Stick might not be big enough, the system is 57GB so maybe why its not working, I made a copy of its SD Card instead, but you need to open it up to do that, I did it that way because if the menu stops loading so does not boot you will not be able to restore the system, it needs to be running to restore with the backup option.
I used Win32 Disk Imager to copy it then copied it to another Micro SD Card (Kingston) as a backup, then put it in a SD Card adapter and stuck it on the top of the A600 GS case... :)
