The file couldn't be opened (Logbbok)

Upgraded to Version 3.4.2 (162) and worked on some QSL records. Closed RUMLog. Shutdown the computer. This morning I get "The file couldn't be opened" in the Main Logging window.
How do I know what file it tries to open?

The logging window title should show the used database file name.
Use the Lokbook menu to open your file.

The only thing in the window title showed was actually "The file couldn't be opened"
Now it turned out to be some iCloud issues. I just changed my password that had given me issues with KeyChain and other iCloud dependencies.
Corrected that and restarted (still PC damaged) and everything returned to normal.
The window title now shows the file location to be:
/Users/connyjonsson/Library/Caches/com.apple.bird/session/g/140CEBCF-581C-4783-97F8-9AC034F7D848
Not the easiest location to find.
Follow up question; would TimeMachine backup that location?
Now back to be a Happy Camper.

When I save my log file in the iClouds root, it looks like this:
From the Opern Logbook dialog. you can just navigate to the iCloud:
It seems, my backup includes the iCloud.

Copied /Users/connyjonsson/Library/Caches/com.apple.bird/session/g/140CEBCF-581C-4783-97F8-9AC034F7D848 to iCloud root as and renamed it to n5hc.rlog
Works fine.
But I have no clue why the log file ended up in that place to start with.
