[Device this profile is for: selected] - Check only the specific device
- Check "Configure options for all devices"
- Check "Backup the device database on each connection"
- Destination: a specific existing directory
- Copies to keep: 5
- Click on "OK" and restarted Calibre

Calibre 5.22.1 |
That looks correct. But, when the device is connected, does it have an entry in the list that is an icon under "Status". If it doesn't, then the it won't have device specific options. The device is identified using the ids that are in driveinfo.calibre. If that file gets recreated for some reason (a factory reset will remove it) the device needs to be added to the list again. It probably should be using the serial number or something, but, there are a couple of things about the identification that makes that not as simple as it should be.
And for the record, the profiles on the first tab are not connected to the settings on the second tab. The profiles can use the devices, but, they do not include the settings on that page.
