Bug ID: 172163
Summary: Every 10 seconds, LibreOffice Base makes a backup file
when a database is opened...
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.2.3.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Base
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When a .odb-file is opened in Base, LibreOffice makes a backup every 10 seconds
in it's backup folder (~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/backup). It generates many
writing actions to a disk, and - if the database is a big(ger) file, the whole
partition or disk got filled with these backups. After closing LibreOffice
Base, the files won't get erased/cleaned out of this backup folder, which
causes a huge folder full with copies of the same backup file.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an existing database file (.odb)
2. Leave the database open and let it sit for a while
Actual Results:
Every 10 seconds, a new backup file from the opened database is added in the
folder "~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/backup". This goes on until you close the
opened file. All these backup files will stay in the mentioned backup location,
even when LibreOffice is closed.
Expected Results:
The same behaviour was expected when another LibreOffice file (Writer, Calc, et
cetera) was opened. A Writer file, a Calc file etc. don't show this kind of
behaviour (as far as I know)
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
I've encountered this behaviour on every Linux installation I have and where I
opened a database file in LibreOffice Base.
