Database Backup Yields: Error (ERROR_STORAGE_FAILURE)

Hello,

I just upgraded to gallery 2.3 after my gallery had not been working for probably over a year (just a blank page at main). But no worries, after upgrading to 2.3 it seems to work fine, except this one thing. I get an error when I try to perform the built in database backup.

Here is the error trace I get (Last Run Details):

Error (ERROR_STORAGE_FAILURE)

It isn't really necessary, since I know how to backup my database otherwise, but it would be nice to have it working. Any hints what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks,

HA!

I was just looking for a solution to this problem again (not remembering that I had posted this) and googling resulted in me finding my own post!

Anyway, has anyone solved this or have any ideas?!?

Sure, I could do that. Or I could help test this feature and report my findings so that we can get it to work.

Maybe I should be posting in another place (bug tracker), or maybe this feature should be removed from the app if it is too low on the development priority list.

Just my thoughts. I'll be happy to help debug at any level if needed.

--mobrien

I was completely unaware that a new major release was on the way. That's great news! (As if it's news and not just that I'm not at all tuned in)

In that case, I'll stop bothering everyone and let you get back to the important stuff. Maybe one day I'll even have enough time to contribute to this (one of my favorite projects) maybe by writing a plugin or something.

Best of luck!
