<div>I can’t figure out what it is I am doing wrong. I want to set up
autobackup but it is not working for me.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I placed the following into my StandaloneCommon.ini file.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>[AutoBackupModule]</div>
<div> AutoBackupModuleEnabled = true</div>
<div> AutoBackupInterval = 30</div>
<div> AutoBackupDir = /var/opensim/backup/OAR/test/</div>
<div> AutoBackupNaming = Time</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My expectations were this would set this for all of my regions as their
default and if I wanted something different in a specific region I could set new
values in that region.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I let the simulator run for a few hours and no OAR’s were created at
all.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I then added the following to one of my regions.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>AutoBackupModuleEnabled = true</div>
<div>AutoBackupInterval = 15</div>
<div>AutoBackupDir = /var/opensim/backup/test/</div>
<div>AutoBackupNaming = Time</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Left my simulator run for a few more hours and still nothing was
saved.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Looking in my log file I only see the following.</div>
<div> </div>
