Long time closing down app

[G0CNN]

Hello All!

I am still struggling with a very slow closedown of the application which is very frustrating. The closedown window gets to the following point of starting the backup and then takes 2+ minutes to continue and close. I initially get the messages (bottom up):

Starting backup...
Forced closure will take place within 60 seconds
Waiting pending asynchronous activities...
Scheduler closed
Saving form status...
Shutting down Log4OM application

Then a 2+ minute delay while it undertakes the backup. Then a rapid (bottom up):

Shutdown completed
Unregistering events...
Program configuration saved
Closing windows...
Scheduler saved
User profile closed
Closing user profile
Backup completed

There is ample backup space on the SD card and I have deleted all but the most recent few backups. Log4OM wasn't this slow until I upgraded to V2. Currently running 2.8.0.0. In settings backup rotation is set to 5. 4000 log book entries. No other apps running.

Any help gratefully appreciated!

Thanks.

Ian.

Forgot to update this. I temporarily redirected the backup folder to the laptop hard drive and all was ok. It seems the speed of the SD card I was writing to slowed considerably at some point as the QSO count increased. Anyway, I am now using a much quicker USB drive as my backup target
