You might not be on the frappe-bench folder while running the bench command

I am in frappe bench folder else the command wont run!

@Ujjawal

I feel you are providing the site name which you intend to backup while executing the command. Backup needs to be executed as follows

  • bench --site site_name backup [--with-files(optional)]

Hope this helps to solve your problem.

I have written the code as follows under frappe-bench directory:

bench --site erpnext.dev backup --with-files

Erpnext.dev is my site name.

Even just trying to execute:

bench --site erpnext.dev

still getting an error.

@Ujjawal

Can you please go to you bench-repo and frappe directory and execute git status.

Since as you stated there should not be any output or it should show message as shown below,

The problem seems to be rare and weird.

Hi shreyas,
The thing is earlier i have been asked by creamdory to execute some commands using git i.e git reset, git pull. And upon doing that i lost all my work and system got reset back to fresh installed erpnext.
So are you sure that it wont reset again?

@Ujjawal

git status is a safe command, it just displays if there is uncommitted work in your directory. So don’t worry this won’t undo any of your changes

Under bench repo i got the following output executing git status

On executing git status on app erpnext i got the following output:
