I have a set of files in a Nextcloud subfolder, in particular ‘Gramps’ backup files in .gramps and .gpkg format.

When I run my backup script, I rotate the existing files x.gramps and x.gpkg to x.gramps.0 and x.gpkg.0 with `savelog` then recreate them using gramps command line export. All files synch to Nextcloud, except the new x.gramps gets ‘left behind’ and I need to drag’n’drop x.gramps onto the Nextcloud web folder to upload it manually. This is consistent over several iterations - all of the files created by savelog and x.gpkg are uploaded properly, just this particular file is ‘lost’ to Nextcloud.

Does anyone have any clue why, or how to trigger (touch?) the file to ensure upload?
