?Is Monthly backup select days broken

[ira]

I have a few of my backups set to monthly and then have 4 days selected and it seems like it's backing up all the unselected days and ignoring the selected days.

Testing right now and it seems to work. Are you using normal days? (like 7th, 18th, 23th, 27th) or Ordinakl days like "The first, the second, etc).

I just checked 4 numbers in the drop down list.

Could you please upload a picture of the task's scheduler in order to try to reproduce this.

Thanks... I'll give it a try.

If it helps, the destination is
d:\develbackup\%FORMATDATETIME

And the format is dd

Weirdly, it seems to work fine on a different computer.

[cobian]

Do you have different cultures on those 2 computers?

Not that I know of, they are both Windows 11 set up for USA English. One is home built and one is a Lenovo laptop.
