Rainmeter Backup - Themes and Skins

Post by JohnBurns »

I just updated to Version 2.2. My backup seems to have changed - when I attempt to backup, it closes Rainmeter , showing no progress of the backup. Is this normal? I am somewhat confused about the change in the way the backup works. Appreciate any help in this area. Thanks.

Is this a stupid question - or posted in the wrong section? Several views but no responses. :???:

The backup process does indeed close Rainmeter to avoid potential issues. In your case, does it fail to create a backup?

It does create a backup - yes. However the previous version backup stayed on screen while going through the backup process....then closing. Now, it just seems to close Rainmeter and go away...just confused me, I guess. Thanks for response, I guess I felt more secure with previous version procedure - lol!
