The problem isn't backups. The files are there and in my
dotfilesrepo. The problem is Cura decided to ignore the version0.0folder in 5.x, which is used in 4.x, and the profiles are no longer compatible. During upgrade, it doesn't pull those files and convert. To me, this is a major oversight for something where tweaking profiles is a huge part of the quality of the output.Totally agree. Cura has bit me more than once with losing my settings. To Lmaydev's point, it's hard to "back things up" when you don't know where the settings are stored and sometimes you don't know you need to be Sherlock Holmes until it's too late.
I work in IT and I get that, but we also should have some reasonable expectations here for how a program should handle updates. Not losing key configuration files is definitely one of those.

Yeah that really sucks!
