Release Notes for Active Backup for Business | Synology Inc.

Increased the retry duration for personal computer and physical server backup tasks. The system will retry backup until 72 hours after a device is disconnected.

The increase to 72 hours before terminating a backup session will be useful. As far as I can tell when a session is terminated the next time seems to require a fully backup, or at least a lot of data is said to be checked.

This will cover a hasty exit on Friday* and finish on Monday

*POETS day as it was called... <mumble>** Off Early, Tomorrow's Saturday

**Push, yes that was it! Nothing else

.. and it ties in a bit with No 8 as well. Looks like these scenarios happen a lot. Good release imho.

 

[fredbert]

Good point. I hope that also covers the situation when there's been a certificate issue that caused silent failures.

I hear you. Not sure they would even advertise that as a "feature or fix". Guess time will tell.
