Nightly Backup failed last night :(

Thread needs solution

I have two back ups running each night.  One goes to my OneDrive and the other goes to my NAS in the basement.

I also run the generational code that 'reboots' each incremental backup about twice a month.  For reasons unknown, the NAS backup ignored the 25gb file limit and just created a single, stonking big file :(.

No worries - I blew the backup scheme away and cloned the OneDrive backup (they are functionally identical).

Except ... each time I click the BACKUP NOW button, the destination location resets to OneDrive, regardless of how many times I have reset it to the NAS.

This isn't the first time that I have seen this (very sad face) ... I have stored screenshots of every option I like so that I can recreate a backup scheme from scratch.  I guess I will be doing this (again) tonight.

So ... I am running the 2020 version of this software ... and it seems that I swap every 2 years (2014, 2016, 2018 and now 2020).  Should I move to 2022?  Will this issue remain (I have seen it in older versions)?

I have never had this problem, but the I do not backup to OneDrive.
