Missing "takesnapshot_.log" in v1.4.3 (was: Starting snapshot fails on newly created profile) #2302
Description
On a fresh install of Linux Mint 22.2 manually starting a snapshot fails with missing file takesnapshot_.log in the .local/backintime directory. After rebooting, the problem is gone. New profiles seems to work after that, either.
Backintime was installed from the Mint's apt servers.
I think this is related to issue #1866.
