I have GnuCash 5.10 on macOS M1 with Sonoma. In my GnuCash, the Settings->General has "Retain log/backup files for", so if you have this set to Never, perhaps that is why no backup files are being created? Mine is working properly based upon that setting. How do you think you have this set to create backups, but no log files? -- _________________________________ Richard Losey rlo...@gmail.com Micah 6:8 _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
