I have Audacity 3.1.3 on a new Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro running Windows 11 Home.
I use an Audio-Technica Model AT2005USB mic for recording audiobooks.
I record in Mono and save as a .WAV file for editing.
I also have a label track to mark spots on the audio track where mistakes are made to make it easier to edit later.
Anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes into recording I get the following error box:
“Automatic Database backup failed”
My audio track is completely gone! The label track remains but with no markers.
If I close out Audacity and re-open there’s no project to recover!
I see that this same error has been consistently showing up on the Audacity Forum going back to 2007. Nobody that I could see has been able to answer this problem.
