The scheduled backup is only carried out if the Internet browser is open in the Duplict application; if closed, it does not perform the backup or record errors in the log.
Does anyone know about this problem and can suggest a solution?
Thank you very much.
Hi @Reinaldo_c_s
I have not heard of this behavior before. The UI has no impact on the scheduler at all. Even if you close the browser, the tray icon still hosts the scheduler.
If your machine goes to sleep it will usually also suspend Duplicati, but it should start running as soon as the machine wakes.

How do you close? Browser tab, Duplicati Quit, etc? How exactly do you get going again?
What OS, e.g. if Windows, do you see Duplicati processes in Task Manager when closed?

Hi, thanks for helping.
I did a quick test, closed the browser and the Duplicat icon continues to run in the bottom right corner of the screen. When I click OPEN, the browser opens again and shows the Duplicat application home page.
Thanks for answering.
It is a server that ran Linux for many years, currently running Windows 10, but with power control configured to never suspend or disable any device. I’m sure it doesn’t suspend or turn off, it stays on 24 hours.
When the browser (Chrome) is open and showing the Duplicat application home page, when the scheduled time arrives, the backup occurs normally. However, if I close the browser, close it like any other application, in the X in the top right corner, at the scheduled time nothing happens.
In short, if the browser is browsing the Duplicat application at the scheduled time (10:00 p.m.), the backup runs without problems, otherwise it does not perform the scheduled backup.
Thank you very much.
Just to double check - when you say no backup is taken, how are you determining that?
By seeing that “Last successful backup:” is too old?
By seeing that the number of versions hasn’t increased?
By looking at the backup’s “Show log …” and not having an entry for “Operation: Backup” for the last time it should have run?
