There is an old problem I used to have in gnus-cloud on emacs-27 and emacs-28 has popped up again in emacs 30.1. When I do gnus-cloud-download-all-data the command fails with the message: File already exists: /home/sb/News/nntp+news.gmane.io:gmane.linux.debian.user.SCORE~ The fix is to allow an overwrite of the backup file https://github.com/steinarb/emacs-gnus-cloud-sb/commits/emacs-30-with-gnus-cloud-mods https://github.com/steinarb/emacs-gnus-cloud-sb/commit/210309098625ca643cbc2ecb6e56b619da84b3f0
