Switching to JSON export type does not work for large databases

[Stvad]

I have DB that is 9MB when exported as JSON, and Roam seems to be more sluggish to work with it in general. Specifically this leads to the backup script failing to switch export type most of the time (i.e. I get the Markdown export)

ah, bummer. is it exporting correctly in-browser? we may be able to bump up the timeout, but if it's failing in-browser too, we may be constrained on roam, server-side.

do you mean if it works when I do it manually? If so - yes it does

6 of 9 backups have failed to make the switch, including all of my recent ones. Increasing the timeout doesn't seem to help, and when I attach a remote debugger it doesn't trigger the race condition.

Fortunately, I can achieve my same task with the Markdown format, so I'm just going to work around it.

But still -- annoying.
