No sync failure in case network share does not exist

Open Discussion-008 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

The encrypted backup directory was on a network share. This network share was removed. Thus, no backup was created. Nevertheless, the user interface shows "none" for the sync failures, and the log just ends at the time, when the network share was removed. Thus, without testing the function after the upgrade, I would have missed that no further backups are created.

Note: Stefan, thanks a lot for making this tool available. It is one of my favourites.

that's actually by design. Users requested this behavior so they won't get errors if a network share is not available (e.g. because the wifi is down) or the USB stick isn't plugged in. The sync will of course do its work once the network share is available again or the USB stick plugged in.

Thanks for the immediate feedback. Feature idea: Maybe it would be useful, to indicate this by e.g. showing "sync queued" or "sync delayed till storage available" in the sync failure field.
