Thanks for your help Tobias. I have just discovered something. I have (at least) two different versions of TiddlySaver.jar The older one (which came with 2.7.1) is 4.8 kb & the newer one (came with 2.8.1) 11.8 kb. If I use the older one with 2.8.1 the backups are created, but with the newer larger jar they do not. I guess newer is not always better?
