Hello
Been backing up and restoring databases usinf backup and restore within HEM to ensure that I understand the process before I have a problem and found the following:
Problem 1: When I restored a database with “create a new database” definitely checked my original database disappeared/was overwritten.
I repeated the process of restoring a database a couple of times checking for certain that I wasn't pressing the overwrite database option and sometimes a database disappeared and sometimes it didn't. I Gave the restored databases new unique names.
Thankfully everything was backed up before I started doing this so I lost nothing but this could be devastating to someone who didnt.
I'm running windows 7 and have the latest version of HEM installed (1.11.02b at this time)
During this process my SSD used space grew a lot and I located the culprit was HEM unzipping the backups to my C:\Users\”myusername”\AppData\Local\Temp folder. I assume these files are fine to delete manually but confirmation would be nice.
If this is common I'd warn people somehow because people having disappearing/accidentally overwritten databases could get messy. I repeat that I checked create new database for sure!
