Problem with a scheduled mirror backup

Post by alex78 »

Dear Backup4all specialist,

I have set up 7 Mirror Backup and all the job have the same problem. Oftentimes, during scheduled night backups, the software does not check thoroughly the list of files which need to be copied, and therefore not all the files that have been added/modified are properly backed up. However, when I manually start the process the software checks for all the discrepancies and therefore the files that had not been copied during the night are properly backed up.
The discrepancy check for a scheduled job lasts 3 seconds, while it takes 4 minutes for a manual job.

We have many folders that need backed up, but the files that are modified/added are few.

I have attached the log of the scheduled night jobs with missing files and the job run this morning manually with the list of the files that have been copied.

Thanks for your input
Best regards

SCHEDULED BACKUP

Hi,

Do you have the same problem if you map the source network share and use the mapped drive as backup source?

Hi,

Do you have the same problem if you set the scheduled task to run with the highest privileges?
