I try to be diligent about backing up my data but I routinely get this pop up.  I know my disk is not full, and Retry does nothing. Ignore usually move the process along but it will hang up again requiring me to click Ignore several times. Today I had to hit Ignore three times till I got to this screen, and nothing I did would let me pass.  At this point nothing works but the Abort button, but when I press abort I get this.  but, the backup process screen shows it is not completed  If I click to view the backup log the log is empty, leading me to think I have no backups at all. Thoughts?

As an add on I can find the backup files in the Legacy Backup folder, I just don't know if they are complete or not.

This happened to me. ?The default location for the backup file puts it with the data files, so each time you back up, you double in size.? ? Use the config button to point the backup elsewhere.? I send mine to my OneDrive.? Other solutions are to send them to a USB drive or if you have a network, to a network drive.? ? Go in to the folder it is pointing to, and delete the old backups.? You will see the progression in size of them. ? ? doug ?

Thanks Gary,
I spoke with Dean this evening and he told me about that, I opted to have my backups saved on my NAS Server, now that I know what it was doing.

Gary,
Change the location (Config) setting in the backup to point to
someplace other at the logger folder.
