Hello. I’m using Duplicati with - 2.2.0.3 - 2.2.0.3_stable_2026-01-06 and when scheduling a backup using a custom schedule, the calendar in the Duplicati scheduler does not match the actual calendar. Selecting the day of the month works as expected but the header at the top of the calendar that shows the day of the week is off by one day. It’s showing M T W Th F Sa Su from left to right but should be Su M T W Th F Sa to align with the correct day of the month.
I’m on Linux Mint Debian Edition 7 and Kernel 6.12.63+deb13-amd64 and have the first day of the week set to Use Locale Default (I’m in North America).
Here’s a screenshot from Duplicati showing the calendar for a custom scheduled backup. It’s showing January 29th as Friday but it is actually Thursday.
Ignoring the wrong day of the week (which I’m also seeing, now that I look),
did the 1 PM backup already run? I “think” it’s past that time worldwide now.
I noted this in November, there was time zone discussion, nothing changed.
Basically, it seems wrong to show an already-past time and call it Next time.
What’s worse is that on a job edit, if you save the suggestion of a past time,
it runs – because it’s already passed… One can avoid this with a manual fix.
Actually the old UI also seems to offer past time, but new UI is a day earlier.
Getting back to the day-of-the-week header, the old UI seems to be correct:
The backup I had in the screenshot wasnt a real backup, I was setting it up to get a screenshot. Backups run fine, just setting them up on a custom schedule shows the wrong day of the week which was a little confusing at first.
That wasn’t exactly the question, but assuming it’s already past 1 PM Jan 29,
then you’re confirming it already ran. Perhaps its Jan 30 has already also run, however that depends on your time zone. In my UTC-5 it’s 2:30 PM on Jan 30.
It does for me too, but (apologies for a side issue) I’m also thinking it shows an improper day of month. Maybe it’s just being silly, but IMO my 29 should say 31 because Jan 30 8:50 AM backup has taken place already, earlier this morning.
