Database is empty

Post by EI2GLB »

Hi All

Just turned on my PC this morning and my database is empty,

I think the PC did a W10 update since the last time I used Log4OM,

I seen a post from Terry saying look at page 228 in the manual but the latest one I downloaded only goes to page 169

Thanks

Ok did a force update and have page 228 now,

I am currently restoring my QSO's into a new DB,

My config looked ok just the DB was empty

any idea why a W10 update would wipe the SQL file??

Thanks
Trevor

Some win updates deny access to files it suspects it's a security thing

Thanks Terry,

What would you recommend as a safe backup plan for Log4om?

Thanks

Main backup to cloud with 15 rotations

Secondary backup to document's folder on hard drive

Store sqlite file in cloud also

All that will make you bomb proof

Trevor,

You can set all your backup options in the Configuration file.
