Is the backup written to ~/.local/share/gnote/Backup?  Is the backup 
deleted upon a successful write of the modified file?

I double-checked and space on the disk is not an issue, I don't believe 
file system monitoring is enabled on ~/.local, and there is no external 
backup.  I had enabled file synchronization to a shared folder but the 
synchronization had not been working due to the presence of a stale lock 
file in the shared folder.

Until next time, Colin.
