I keep getting “The backup has an unexpected number of modified files in the latest run.” … but I can’t find which files or under which folders …
When I open report it just says
The backup was expected to have
63.67
modified files but had
5.00
which exceeds the 20% threshold.
1/ It doesn’t say which, the information is useless as I can’t act on it
2/ How is 5.00 value more than 20% larger than 63.67? Isn’t 76.404 value 20% larger than that?
Thank you
(I’m currently nearing my trial expiration but honestly having a hard time evaluating the software, I struggle to get visibility into what it’s doing or how well it’s performing)
That is a side-effect of the privacy design around the console. Since the console never sees the paths, it cannot see which are changed.
The 20% deviation goes in both directions. If the expected number of modified files is 63.67 then the allowed interval is [50.93-76.04] and 5 is outside the interval.
The modified files monitoring does not work well if the average number of files changing swings wildly, as it is designed to spot large spikes. If the number of modified files is small, then it can (numerically) swing too much. In that case, I would advise you to simply remove the monitor here: https://app.duplicati.com/app/alert-center/settings
