Log shows wrong "monthly backup" - how can I trust logs and mail notification

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I´m running a GFS scheme in some of my backups.

I now see that the log of the bakup that ran las night states that it is the monthly backup although it is not the last saturday in the month.

I checked the vaults and was surprised: The backup last night was a weekly one.

So the backup scheme is okay but it seems as if the log (and in the follwing also the sent mails) state a monthly backup whereas it is a weekly one.
On the last saturday in the month a monthly backup is correctly made, but the log / mail notification states a weekly one.

is this a known behaviour ?

Well I think this is - again - one of the problems that the log and mail notiification is quite buggy and I cannot trust it in all cases....

Hi Sven,

I'm unsure about the behavior but it looks like there is a different "calculation" on detecting the last saturday in log and backup process as all of your backups are correctly made. I have not seen this before.

Can you please attach some evidence?

I attached 2 screenshots of the last month.

Vault view shows differential (i.e. weekly) on 22.10 and full (i.e. monthly) on 29.10.

The notification mail from 22.10 states "monatliche" (it´s in german and means monthly).

The notification mail from 29.10 states "wöchentlich" (it´s in german and means weekly).

 

I think this should be evidence enough  ;-)

Hi Sven,

this is a known issue and will be finxed in future updates.
