Just a followup. Tech support has filed a bug for the issue. It's a command that not many people use I'm guessing. I've just started using it to move a 4D Backup to a BackBlaze folder once a week so it can be backed up on the weekend to the cloud. During the week, we just backup the daily journal files.
It turns out 4 out of 5 of my systems fail with this command. My workaround to get the path is a simple routine to read the XML Backup file. It seems to work fine in v17. Have not tried in v18. // ---------------------------------------------------- // Method: UT_LastBackupFilePath // Method Path: UT_LastBackupFilePath // Description // Work Around for failed 4D Command "Get 4D File(Last backup file)" // // Parameters // ---------------------------------------------------- C_TEXT($0;$PathToLastBackup_vt) C_BLOB($BackupFileBlob_vx) C_TEXT($xml_Struct_Ref;$ElementRef_vt) DOCUMENT TO BLOB(Get 4D file(Backup configuration file);$BackupFileBlob_vx) $xml_Struct_Ref:=DOM Parse XML variable($BackupFileBlob_vx) $ElementRef_vt:=DOM Find XML element($xml_Struct_Ref;"/Preferences4D/Backup/DataBase/LastBackupPath/Item1") DOM GET XML ELEMENT VALUE($ElementRef_vt;$PathToLastBackup_vt) $0:=$PathToLastBackup_vt I'm kind of interested in a straw poll. I'll post it in another thread. dave On Wed, Aug 19, 2020 at 5:47 PM Dave Nasralla <dnasra...@gmail.com> wrote: > > It turns out 3 out of 4 of my systems have this issue.
