Auto backup to a cloud storage doesn't work

Vlad shared this problem 2 years ago
Solved

Hello!

I've got a problem. Auto backup to a cloud storage doesn't work. Locus 4.5.6. Xiomi Redmi 4x with Android 7.

I've set auto backup to OneDrive. It had worked fine until November. Today I saw that the last backup archieve is done about a month ago.

The same bug exists in Locus Map Pro 3.56.4

Hi guys,

after the recent update, seems that automatic backup (at least on my device) does not work at all. I want to inform you that I'm aware of this issue and will work on it during the next few days, so the next version should bring any improvements.

As I wrote before, for these automatic tasks, I use some tool from Google that is a little bit a "black box", very hard to test. I have to find some testing system and make this feature more reliable. Thanks for understanding. I'll inform you here about the progress.

Hi guys, what is your experience with the latest app version? I've discovered issue with upload to OneDrive storage (that will be fixed in the next app version), but for all other cloud storages, it seems to work correctly now. Do you have same experience? Let me know, thanks.

Locus 4.6.1 is creating the backups in the local folder (android/data/menion/etc) but they are not getting copied to Google My Drive. Today I checked backup settings and changed the frequency to 3 days. And now I see a backup in My Drive as expected.

I have a question from before though. I manually triggered a backup and Locus created it in the local folder but did not upload it to the cloud. But at least the auto backups are working OK.

Hello!

No, in LocusMap 4.6.1 it doesn't work still. In my Dropbox storage the last backup was made on February 5th, although Locus must make it every seven days.

I believe the update Menion mentioned has not made it to the app store yet (right?), at least not in my case. 4.6.1 is the one available, and there's no change to the issue.

Nono, I was talking about latest public 4.6.1 version. Hmm no difference, interesting.

Guys, I was looking at it for quite a long time and this is best I'm able to create for now. Sorry. Let's hope it will start work as expected over time ...

I do have an automatic update in my cloud drive. But it's a little older than the set interval. So it seems to work at least sometimes ...ish. I'll keep an eye on it the next days.

Another automatic backup file showed up in the cloud, with last night's timestamp. Let's see whether the next one gets uploaded too in 7 days (the given interval). Can't tell why there is a larger gap in time between this and the one before. Maybe because I made the backup manually in between?!

It seems to back on track. Another automatic backup file ended up in my cloud drive, with a timestamp 7 days after the previous one. So I guess it's working again - at least in my case.

the last two backups worked for me. but before that there was a gap. sometimes it also helped if you deactivated the backup and just restarted Locus and then activated it again. just check it from time to time. is not so important for me because I still save the whole locus folder in parallel.

I'm a Redmi9 user and use "Developer Options" for Android coding. I had the same problem, but finally managed to fix it by enabling "Turn on MIUI optimisation" in the phone's setup - developer options. Hope it works!

Hello Charl,

enabling! MIUI optimizations helped to solve the auto-backup feature? We will have to try it, thanks.

Yip, so far so good... see the attached image of the backup folder on my Google Drive:

Omg, what a stupid setting! Thanks Charl for the useful info.
