I'm using bitmessage on my tails persistent volume. It works fine when I start up & sends messages but every time I restart tails, everything is gone. Are there special settings I'm missing that will allow me to save everything on my persistent volume each time I start it up?
Tails is an Amnesic Operating system, meaning that it won't save anything at all after shutdown.
You may however configure a persistent volume that you have to mount on startup, where you can save stuff to and it will be there after a restart.
