We may merge a pull request that offers an immediate backup when too many were missed. Let me know when you got something to review. |

That would be a Cadillac solution. Vorta does log a message in the logs: if it could display a pop up at the same time, that would mostly solve the problem. |

@fantom-x If I understand you correctly there is also no "rescheduling" in place? Maybe this could also be an easy solution? If the last scheduled was missed, plan an immediate backup after the next wakeup. |

As a workaround, it is possible to use a service such as healthchecks.io and the post-backup-command from the Vorta GUI. In the case of healthchecks.io, you can even integrate if the backup fails, i.e. returncode > 0 And if you want to track how long backups take, use this pre-backup-command: (I have no relationships to healthchecks.io, it's just what I started using, and other providers might work as well) |

I do understand that when a computer is not on, there is no backup. But I have backups scheduled every three hours and I happened to not be using the computer at the time of scheduled backups for several days in a row.
There are log messages about that, but it would be beneficial to the users to have a clearly visible warning about missed backups so that the actions can be taken before it is too late.
The pop-up warning could also have a button to perform an immediate backup.
