Diaro import fails with bad zip file.

AlanMason

I am trying to migrate my wife’s Diaro too Diarium using the file created by Diaro’s Backup .zip file.
But everytime I try Diaro crashes whilst creating the zip file. The resulting .zip file is invalid and can’t be decompressed.
The uncompressed Diaro data is approx 1.8gb.
The only way backup works is via the text only backup option (no photos) .
Is there any other way to successfully migrate from Dario to diarium?

Diarium version: Diarium 2.9.19 &
OS + version: IOS 15.6.1

I’ll reply to my own post with good news!
I took the .xlm file from the ‘text only’ backup .zip file and put it in a new ‘dario_~~_’ zip file with every photo from the existing Dario synch folders in the same ‘folder’. Diarium then accepted that as a valid Dario migration file and completed the migration. (Freeing me from the threat of dropbox’s £9.99 a month for more than 2gb storage . )

Glad it worked. It seems like Diaro sometimes produces invalid zip files...
