Tasks don't run as scheduled

[mdav]

Hi,

The task have stopped working. It is scheduled to run weakly, but stopped working in beginning of april. The PC is constantly on and Reflector is running as a service. Version prior today was 2.6.55, but I upgraded today to 2.7.10.

Task: Weekly every Sunday. Full copies to keep 2. Differential copies 0 (ok?). Full backup every 4

In March I have one full backup och three differential, which is ok. However, there are no new backups in April at all. The information in the history tab says next backup 7 of April, which was two weeks ago.

Any idea what's wrong?

What does the log file say?

If you run the tasks manually, do they start?

Is the computer on when the time for backup is scheduled? (Kanske datorn är i sovläge då det är datgs att säkehetskopiera enligt tidschema. Bara en gissning)

[mdav]

The server is always on, no sleep.

The info for the task shows: Next backup 2024-04-07 01:00, see attached picture.

I now tried to run it manually and it works, see below. After that the info shows a new date: Next backup 2024-04-28 01:00.

[cobian]

So no errors, the tasks run manually but don't start as scheduled ...

What kind och schedule do the task have? Daily? What time?

[mdav]

See attached pictures.

[cobian]

So the backup will only done on sundays 1.00 in the night. All the dynamic settings seem also to be OK, so sorry, I'm out of ideas.

[mdav]

I will see what happens next Sunday if it will be on track after the I run the task manually. Next backup date was indeed changed to 28 April after the manual run.

[cobian]

Update me on monday.
