BLBackup monthly schedule not working properly

[janjanssen]

Hi all,

I've set up BLBackup to update the same directory both on a daily (to keep 30 days) and monthly (to keep 24 months) schedule as in the picture below. A daily event does trigger BLBackup.



The good news is that a backup is made daily and that 30 days are kept. The bad news is that also the monthly backup happens daily instead of monthly and so instead of keeping 24 months its keeps 24 days (presumably because it runs every month).

Anyone having the same problem or suggestions how to fix this? Thx.

Yes, I have the same configuration and results. I am not sure what is happening.

It's a while since I set up backup - but isn't the frequency set by the event that triggers?

Yes, it is the Event(s) that start a backup.

I am starting with blbackup...


why is there a shedule /days/week/month... if we have to start the backup by an event?

The event start the Backup but it´s the plugin who defines the schedule. Don't define the days in the HomeSeer event, this is taken care of by the plugin.
