baskup backup files are empty

[ckpankratz]

Hi Peter,

First, thanks for developing baskup. This has been a useful application for me personally. I'd like to report an issue I'm having with the latest version. When I run baskup, my iMessage baskup files are all coming up empty. Attached is the baskup screen once the backup completes. On my disk, baskup does create a directory for each and every message thread, but the files are all zero length.

I'm using baskup 2.0 and running MacOS 10.12.6.

Am I doing something wrong (it worked on an earlier release of MacOS) or is there possibly an incompatibility issue?

Thanks for your help.
Chris

Hey Chris,

I had the same issue. I believe this app backs up only new conversations since its previous backup.

Try resetting the backup date by clicking on File->Reset Backup Date. Then run the backup again.

Worked as well.

This was a bit confusing. Maybe letting the user know there are no new backups "since last date" after pressing Run Backup could help?

Anyway, congrats this is a great tool.
