automatic backup

[Daniele]

After 1 day with debug enabled I can't see any other error, but still no backup.
Now I tried to set it up every 10 hours, I'll let you know the result.

Same result with 10 hours, while I got a successful backup with 8 hours.

@daniele Thanks to narrow down this issue. I will have a look on the code.

@daniele I have update scheduler library. I do not see this issue now. Also, I have added an option to show next execution time. Kindly check it in SNAPSHOT version and let me know.

Thank you!

Yesterday evening at 10 PM I changed the schedule from "every 8 hours" to "every 1 day", to check the change you did.
This evening I'll check the result, but what I notice in the meantime is that there's something wrong in the label showing the next execution:

@daniele Thank you! Can you check the Uptime on your MyController server?

[Daniele]

This is the uptime of my server:

To simplify your analysis: 4 AM is the time I daily restart my Raspberry.

@daniele

To simplify your analysis: 4 AM is the time I daily restart my Raspberry.

That's the root cause. MyController backup job not following cron or regular time. It is following repeat time from the scheduled time. When you restart the server this timer also gets restarted. For your setup, you can configure a maximum of 23 hours and 59 minutes if you configure it exactly at startup.

So if you configure backup every > 12 hours and < 24 hours, you should get daily backup from next day.

Now that's clear, I'll try using 23 hours.
Thanks!

I can confirm that with 23 hours the scheduler works perfectly now!
Thanks a lot!
