Hi Dave -

I've downloaded 10.3.2, but the Backup Folder issue still seems to be present. I corrected the folder, made a backup, exited DXKeeper and updated the workspace, but the incorrect folder is still showing up the next time I open a different log. It's not a high priority for me, but wanted to bring it to your attention. TNX ES 73, Bob WB2NVR

Please do the following: 2. on the Configuration window's Log tab, change the Backup folder pathname (don't initiate a backup) 3. terminate DXKeeper 4. start DXKeeper 10.3.2 5. on the Configuration window's Log tab, does the Backup folder pathname reflect the change you made in step 2 above? 73, Dave, AA6YQ

Sorry for the delay in responding to your request. I started DXK 10.3.2 for W2RZS. The backup location was J75RZ. I changed the location to W2RZS, didn't do a backup, and closed DXK. I restarted DXK, and the backup location remained W2RZS, as expected. I then updated the Work Space for W2RZS to save the backup location. I then activated the WS for J75RZ, and opened DXK for J75RZ. The backup location shows W2RZS. I changed it to J75RZ, closed DXK without making a B/U, re-opened DXK for J75RZ, and confirmed that the B/U location was J75RZ. I closed DXK, and updated the WS for J75RZ to save the B/U location. I then activated the WS for W2RZS, opened DXK for W2RZS, and the B/U location was J75RZ. 73, Bob WB2NVR

So in summary,

1. you "then activated the WS for W2RZS, opened DXK for W2RZS, and the B/U location was J75RZ" 2. found that the W2RZS workspace specifies \\NETGEARNAS\backup\W2RZS\DXKeeper\W2RZS as its backup folder 3. confirmed that when you started DXKeeper, the backup folder was set to \\NETGEARNAS\backup\W2RZS\DXKeeper\W2RZS The question is "why did steps 2 and 3 produce a result different than step 1"? I can think of no technical explanation. 73, Dave, AA6YQ

Hi Dave -

Thanks for spending the time on this. Since it only impacts people who have more than one log and use WorkSpaces, it might not be worth the effort to resolve this - especially if it's pilot error. However, please give me one last try. When I finish working on one log, and if I make a change to something - like the log layout, I'll save the change, and then Update the WS. When I activate a different WS and open that log, the backup location is that of the previously updated WS. It seems like the backup directory for the WS that was just updated is overwriting the backup directory for another callsign/log. I have multiple folders within my backup directory (one per call). Updating the WS changes the backup file location in ALL of the folders - not just the for the call that is being updated. I just confirmed that this is still happening with the latest updates. 73, Bob WB2NVR

I checked each of the 7 WS, and recorded the time and date of each folder/file. All had various times and dates. When I activated each WS for each call, every one was set to backup into the W2RZS folder. I then activated the TO5RZ WS, changed the backup folder to TO5RZ, did a backup, and closed DXKeeper. I DID NOT update the WS. I then activated the W2RZS WS, and the backup folder selected was TO5RZ. I also selected various log files from within DXKeeper, without using WS, and the result was the same. So, it seems that the backup folder is being selected without updating the WS - as if the last backup folder used is automatically selected for subsequent backups, regardless of what is saved in the WS.

Hi Dave -

Problem solved! The problem wasn't the location of the WS, but the path to the location of the backups. Once I mapped the backup location on \\NetgearNAS to a driveletter, I updated all of the WS for each log. Now, whenever I change WS, the correct backup location is selected. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. 73, Bob WB2NVR
