Does it depend on when to create a Backup forum?

Does it depend on when to create a Backup forum? In the panel, when I press Backup, I see that I create copies of the forum over a different period of time. From, what depends when will a copy of the forum be created?
I see from the copies that they were created in 10 days, and others in less days.

Hello,

The backup system creates a backup once every 7 days give or take a couple days automatically. You don't need to manually create a backup.

see that creating a copy of my forum is for a period longer than 7 days.
Sometimes it happens in 1-2 months.

Well it can vary, thats why I said give or take a few days. In any case the system creates a backup atleast once every 2 weeks (14 days).

The topic was posted in the wrong section, so I have moved it to the correct section.

You have to go to the utilities to see the backup/restore dates.

July 9th was 2 weeks ago, another one will probably come out in a few days.

Every now and then if our backup system had a problem it may have skipped a month, but in general its either every week or every 2 weeks.

The last archive is 9,06 and now we are 26.07. Maybe the archive is recorded if there are a lot of new posts in the forum?

If you look at the times, theres a pattern, it seems to do a backup once a week for 2 weeks, then skip a week then do another 2. Like I said under normal circumstances it will do a backup atleast every 2 weeks.

Only time it doesn't is if we have a temporary problem with our backup system.

Hi @smurfavr

The back ups are made when the techs and the office are able to do them. There's no a specific date in which they appear for every forum. They appear every once in a while within a considerably short period of time for all users.

Maybe there's a back up available for 2 weeks in a row and maybe every month. That's up to the office Wink
