automatic backup does not work
Hi,
Zotero stopped making automatic backups of the sqlite when I exit the application. The files zotero.sqlite.bak and zotero.sqlite.1.bak do not update anymore as they used to.
Before this happens I changed from the config editor the number of backups from 2 to 1, then I changed it again in its initial value, 2, but still it does not seem to work.
I use the latest version of zotero on mac os.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

dstillmanZotero actually hasn't made automatic backups on shutdown since 2011 — our restoring from an automatic backup was just outdated there. Instead it makes backups when the computer is idle, approximately every 24 hours.
