I recently started getting an error when trying to manually back-up my Kobo Elipsa's database. The file it can't find, does indeed not exist. There are earlier back-ups in this directory, though. I tried looking on this Forum, but couldn't find an answer. I hope some one here will point me in the right direction if I overlooked something.

I tried a few thing like changing the directory. I tried adding an empty text-file with the name of the missing file. Unsurprisingly this didn't work. But I did not expect the error code to stay the same, but it did. I'm probably misreading the error message. Or I would expect there to be a way to start from scratch, what am I missing?

The database itself seems fine (Device database check reads "ok", I compressed it and was able to make a manual back-up.

This is the error message:

calibre, version 7.3.0 (win32, embedded-python: True)
Failed to backup device database: Failed: Backing up Kobo device database

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'H:\\Documents\\01 Prive\\Boeken maken\\Kobo Database Backup\\KoboReader-KoboElipsa-N604220028271-20240116-013200.sqlite'

Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks in advance for any advice on this.
