Option to run missed backups is not working

Post by fbreve »

I'm running the latest version of Cobian Reflector in Windows 11, installed as a service. I set my backup to run daily at 00:00. At this time the computer was sleeping and I expected the backup would run after it resumed, but it didn't happen.

The computer was asleep. Nothing to do here.

So what is the point of the option to run missed backups?

This function is only triggered when the program starts.

Perhaps I could trigger it once an hour or something...

I don't want to subscribe to the PowerModeChanged event because I have seem some nasty bugs with this in some servers.

Triggering once an hour is fine to me. I usually only restart when updating Windows or something like that, so it is unlikely that I'll restart the program after resuming.

For now, I activated intervals instead of fixed times and I'll see if it works for my scenario.

Thank you for your reply and for the software.
