Description Yann Salmon 2024-03-03 16:14:50 UTC 
SUMMARY
The Save new backup button from kup's systray icon menu does not (seem to) do anything.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In KDE settings, set up a backup plan with Manual activation Schedule.
2. Set the destination to an external drive.
3. Open kup's systray icon.
4. Click on Save new backup

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing

EXPECTED RESULT
Backup should start and kup's status should show that ; or backup fails to start and the status should also inform as to why.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Kubuntu 22.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Turns out the root of the problem is that the Backups folder (the default name that KDE settings panel uses) did not exist on the destination drive.

Destination folder creation has been fixed already, just not in a released software version yet. Thanks for reporting!
