Backup Plugin throws error after update to v3.1

Post by jbtapscott »

The Check Installed Plugins plugin identified that the Backup...Settings plugin had been updated, and subsequently downloaded / updated the one on my laptop. In running the new version (3.1) an error was immediately displayed:

For the record, I also tried manually downloading the plugin from the store, updating FH and running it again - same error message was displayed.

That is due to the old FH v6 library modules superseded by the FH v7 auto-installed updated modules.
See plugin question after update to FH 7 (19194) for what folders and files to delete (in this case specifically md5 & md5.lua).
