A missed schedule can result from a sleeping PC, absent external drive or inactive service.
Steps for Windows
- Check that the intended day, time and job are configured.
- Confirm Web Edition or its Windows service is running.
- Verify the PC and backup destination were available during the scheduled time.
- Trigger a manual run to check whether the underlying backup works.
How to verify the result
A manual test completes and the next scheduled job creates a new revision.
A manual success does not mean the Windows service is configured correctly.
Why this matters
The practical goal is a recoverable Duplicacy revision, not just a successful-looking progress indicator. Keep your source, backup destination, Backup ID and necessary credentials documented. If this workflow changes your retention or storage configuration, verify a restore before applying it to important data.
