What is the file extension of the file in documents?

Do you have backups set in the Options?

The file will have an extension so like postage lakes k-1984.Sqlite (dot sqlite)

The bug report won't help if there are no qso's displayed

Again have you been saving backups using the Options settings?

You set up the back up path on Settings>Options>Settings 1> Right hand upper portion. If you haven't set it yourself, there is a default location where the last back up was stored.

You can select any path for your back ups in the Backup file folder box.

Click on the diskette (lower right) to save the new path.

If your logbook is empty your backup will also be empty.

Do as Terry instructed, set your back up path as noted and upon exiting Log4OM, the back up will be saved via your path.

Good luck!
