Apparently, your database is on shared disks. Make sure it is not being used by another instance of the application https://masscode.io/documentation/storage.html#sqlite-legacy

I tried rebooting the machine, to no avail. If I moved the db to a local directory then did the migration it worked. Will a new backup routine be added - like the old one?
