NOTE: this report is possibly related to Issues with archiving scheduling
For a groups of PCs which backup weekly, I have setup archiving in the following way:
The intended behaviour is archiving a backup on the first Sunday of each month, which should be selected by
*;1,2,3,4,5,6,7;*;0
as archive window.
However, the window is ignored and the backup is performed after (at least) 27 days, for example:
Is there something wrong with the way I specified the archive window, or is this a bug?
Thank you!
EDIT: I have now realized that there is a conceptual error in my rule: it should archive every 3 days, using a backup window of *;1,2,3,4,5,6,7;*;0, not every 27 days
This would assure a new archive on the first Sunday of each month, without skipping any month.
Archiving every 27 days with a window of *;*;*;0 doesn’t force archiving on a specific Sunday, but on different Sundays depending on when a client has been first configured in urbackup.
