Burp auto backups keep failing

Rick | Last updated: Apr 18, 2022 05:59PM UTC

Hello, whenever I see an auto project backup start, it usually gets close to completion but then shows an error of "Failed to rename backup file". Any idea what that could mean and how I can get backups working again? I only just bought Burp Pro and I have had that error since I first started using it. Thanks, Rick

Can you confirm the version of Burp that you are using? Are you trying to backup the project file to a standard drive location or on a shared drive? Do you have any anti-virus software or anything that could potentially be affecting the process of Burp saving the file?
