I want to thank you for your diligence and user patients with Duplicati. FWIW, it’s been a digital comfort I’ve gratefully advantaged and taken for granted for many years. Thanks!
The announcement said below, and my good test results from Spring 2025 were posted later.
My Fall 2025 1 hour move off DST is coming up Sunday Nov. 2 at 2 A.M. First test that way.
No idea what developer testing (e.g. in VM) was done. If it matters, my jobs run near 7 A.M.
Change off DST fell back an hour in Duplicati. I had hoped dailies would hold as in Spring.
On night before, my 7 AM-ish daily runs were forecasting 6-ish. On next day, next are too.
I saved some server databases if they would help, but maybe dev could test this on a VM?
I’ll probably move the jobs to their correct time soon unless somebody gives reason not to.
7:50 OneDrive backup ran at 6:50 (so Duplicati did 1 day interval as 24 hours – no adjust).
7:20 Backblaze backup ran at 6:20.
In better news:
I set up a job to run hourly, starting 30 minutes before loss of DST. I expected a double run,
because 2 fell back to 1, so 1:30 happened again but on standard time, not daylight saving:
