Backup logs only showing incremental

Submitted by arjones85 on Mon, 03/13/2017 - 17:37

Hello,

When checking my backup logs, I noticed that under Backup and Restore > Backup Logs it states "Showing logs from last 7 days", however only seems to be showing Incremental backups for the last 7 days. My full backup from yesterday is not showing up in this list.

I have weekly full backups being taken on Sunday, and those do not show up. I have to go to Scheduled Backups and select to view the logs for the full backup in order to see it.

Thoughts?

Thanks for the help!

That is very odd ... does the full backup show up if you search for it on the Backup Logs page?

So it turns out I was misreading the date, last week's full backup didn't run at all. No positive or negative logs showing why, just skipped.

I wonder if there was a daylight savings time issue? My backup is set to run at 2am on Sunday, which is when Daylight savings time occurs.

I haven't made any changes to the backup schedules, both the incremental and full are and have been enabled, and there were no outages. I'm running the backup manually now.

That's odd - unless the backup completely crashed, it should have at least logged a failure.

The backup completed successfully that I manually ran. I am fairly certain the scheduled backup never ran, and that it's related to daylight savings time. The clock hit 1:59:59AM and jumped straight to 3:00AM. My 2am backup schedule never ran :)

Right .. you fell victim to one of the all-time classic sysadmin blunders - assuming that 2am will exist every day :-)
