Why does Versions… say there are no versions yet?

\n

Short answer: The set hasn't finished a backup at its current destination yet. Let the first backup complete or fix any problem shown, then press Back up now. Versions at a previous destination aren't listed.

\n

It means that set hasn't completed a backup at its current destination yet. The window says "No versions yet. Run a backup to create the first one."

\n

Check the set's card: - If it's Backing up…, wait for the first backup to finish. - If it needs attention, fix what it describes, then press Back up now. - If you recently changed the destination, versions saved at the old location stay there but aren't listed for the new one.
