<p>A backup folder is created with the current date including the log files as well as a number of additional backup folders from previous dates. These backup folders in turn include a number of backup folders from previous dates and so on. This pattern is passed on from folder to folder.</p>

<p>This got me thinking.</p>
<p><a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/users/angubite/hovercard" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/angubite">@angubite</a> when you do the backup from within Bisq, it asks you for the backup location.</p>
<p>What do you select there?</p>
<p>Is it<br>
a) the target folder into which you wish to make the new backup, or<br>
b) the folder containing the previous / latest / a recent backup?</p>
<p>If a) then I can't reproduce the behavior you described. With each new backup, I get a fresh new folder in the chosen target backup folder. None of them contains any previous backup folders.</p>
<p>If b) I can see how Bisq could place one backup within another, which could lead to a "parent" backup folder appearing huge + containing several other backups subfolders as you described.</p>
