Cant Backup

[Newtrader101]

I am encountering an issue while attempting to back up my NinjaTrader platform. During the backup process, I receive the following error message:

"You selected to backup your NinjaScript files; however, they are in a non-compilable state and will be excluded from this backup."

I am not familiar with NinjaScript files, but I followed the steps to investigate the issue:

1. Opened NinjaTrader and navigated to Control Center > New > NinjaScript Editor.
2. Right-clicked in the NinjaScript Editor window and selected Compile.
3. A list of approximately 700 errors appeared at the bottom of the editor. I attached a screen shot.

I am unsure how to proceed or resolve these errors, as I do not believe I use any custom NinjaScript files. Could you please assist me in understanding what might be causing this issue and provide guidance on how to resolve it?

I have not made any recent changes to my setup, such as installing or removing third-party add-ons, but I can provide additional details if needed.

The current date and time are Sunday, April 6, 2025, 7:42 PM EDT. Please let me know if you require screenshots or further information to diagnose the problem.

Thank you for your assistance!
