kirthi@erpnext-test:~/frappe/frappe-bench$ bench update --patch

hi @kirthi, can you check if this folder exists “./erpnext/private/backups”

3

@bohlian where should I look for? within frappe-bench/apps/erpnext folder? will it be at frappe-bench/apps/erpnext/erpnext/private/backups?

4

@kirthi, normally it would be in frappe-bench/sites/“the folder i mentioned”

what folders do you have in your sites folder?

5

Thanks @bohlian . I created the folder, and it worked.

6

I am still getting this on

bench uninstall-app base_vat

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './private/backups'

Where is that backups file supposed to reside? I already tried several places.

7

Have you tried like this -

frappe@ubuntu:~/frappe-bench$ find . -name ‘backups’
./apps/frappe/frappe/desk/page/backups
./sites/xxx.com/private/backups

8

Thank you @clarkej for listing your backup folders. I can confirm that those match with our installation. In addition I added

./apps/erpnext/erpnext/private/backups
and I also tried adding simply
./private/backups

Still, bench seems to expect the backup folder somewhere else.

Hey @rasos

bench --version
bench version

output in fresh thread with error log.
This thread is too old and closing for now. Thanks
