Hi, can you tell me the steps you took to get to recovery please. The full log might be helpful also. Thanks!

@dev-warrior777

There were no issues with the wallet before then - I just pressed the Recover button on the wallet settings dialog which should make a backup and reinitialize it (see example below - this was after I intentionally replaced the wallet database with a blank text file).

wallets-settings-recover

I believe the error is because it's trying to create a folder with colons in the name: 2024-11-01T13:38:08: which isn't a valid path in windows.

Thanks for the extra info .. I will take a look first on Linux (no windows setup rn) to see if the command is generally working.

dev-warrior777 commented 3 weeks ago

To be clear:

  1. You replaced this? image
  2. You did the replacement when bisonw was "live" or you stopped bisonw .. replaced wallet.db with a blank text file then restarted?

The folders should be similar in Windows

Thanks!

@dev-warrior777 the error recovering btc wallet: failed to move wallet data to backup folder error occured before I replaced anything - basically the repro steps are:

  1. go to BTC/LTC wallet
  2. open wallet settings
  3. press recover.

It works in linux but not in windows.

Thanks for reply .. I think fixed now in PR #3056
