Issues with backup retention and backup times

ecomlabs

I have this problem too. I think it should be given priority.

We also have a problem with the backups since v12.

A lot of the backups run during the day even though we have set the backup timeframe to not do that and I believe this is down to the Minimum backup age having more priority over the backup timeframe setting.

Hopefully they will get around to sorting this soon 🤞

Yes I think so too. For example I have it set for the "Delay first backup" to run an hour after the account is created and the "Minimum backup age" set to 24 hours. I'd expect that first backup to run an hour after account creation, and then all subsequent backups to run during my scheduled backup times that I've set in the "Allowed backup hours" setting, however that doesn't happen. The backups always run 24 hours after that first backup timestamp, so it's like that "Allowed backup hours" setting is just being ignored...

Wish this could be fixed because I'd prefer backups to run during off-peak hours...

What I believe is that once backups are performed at a certain time, for example, 3 PM,
if you have them configured to run every 24 hours, they will be performed at 3 PM the following day.

It seems to me that it doesn't take into account the overall backup settings when the backup is performed at a time outside of that window.

Which makes the whole "Allowed backup hours" setting useless at the moment.
