Need some help. I’ve recently added back Roon core to the Windows 11
I have the Roon backup in Microsoft OneDrive but can’t seem to get it to take the back up file. I have a file name with a lot of characters and then many sub folders. Really struggling here.
That’s fine, they are not for you to read but for the database. In your chosen backup folder there should be a folder RoonBackups, below that one file named _roon_backup_root_ and a folder with a gibberish name and many subfolders:
What does that mean? It can take a while to load after selecting it because of the many subfolders, probably more so if it’s on OneDrive. (When backing up to Dropbox from within Roon, it’s a known behavior that it takes ages to restore the backup from there)
Maybe backing up directly into the OneDrive folder does not work as expected? Don’t know. There are other reports on the forum where it seems to have worked just fine. Well, at least people said that backing up worked, can’t see if they tried restoring
However, I just found this:
Try backing up to a local folder on the computer and try if it can find the backup then
Hmmm, @Adam_Hextall, try copying the backup out from the OneDrive folder to a local folder, and then try to restore the backup from that copy. Maybe that helps with any OneDrive metadata interference
