markpenny Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 I have a machine backed up daily, that will occasionally be out of service for a number of days. When the machine is put back in to service, there will be a daily backup that day. There is no reason to run all the missed backups, which can take considerable time and is useless as I then have multiple backups with no data changed from one to the next. Recently, the scripts stopped running for a week. When I manually opened Retropect to do a restore, I found this out from the log. No clue in the log as to why. However, all scripts that had not run for the past week immediately began to run. This would have generated at least 2 full backups plus 14 incremental backups without any change in any data except for the Retropect catalogs. Suggestion: allow Retrospect (without manual intervention) to skip or process missed backups via a configuration option I could select. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
