Version 2.1.52 / TOS 5.1.34

After the recent partition issues I restored the system to default giving me 8gb, after all the issues I not backup to USB using USB copy. I have a few tasks set up:

TNAS to USB / Mirror / Scheduled Tasks enabled > Everyday @ 03:00

However after a reset the tasks page shows my created tasks (5 backup folders in total) and the details but the field "Next Run" is blank, just says "---". The time then passes, have left extra time due to a time mismatch which I have already reported and it does not back up. I run manually and it works but does not run when specified. I tried to removed and re-add the task however the issue not only reoccurs but overwrites the whole backup, not just reflecting the changes. I have some large folders so can take several hours doing this.

Why does this not run as a scheduled task when its supposed to?

This issue has been verified. A new version of USB Copy will be released to fix the issue soon.

Thanks, do we know when this release will be pushed?

Could be in one or two weeks.

well given the current time frame of waiting for an update to the time issue, thats a rather optimistic view

Grateful if someone could clarify if this is an issue with "Scheduled Tasks" (as defined in control panel) or tasks set in "USB Copy". Is there a difference?

My scheduled USB copies thru the USB Copy utility have not been happening as scheduled (everyday at 6pm). I've been using incremental. When I run the team manually it works properly.

I have not tried setting this thru the Scheduled Tasks utility. (I was surprised that setting the task in USB Copy didn't create a task in the Scheduled Tasks utility. That would have been the logical place for it to have visibility.

Exactly.
Since I was having trouble with USB Copy anyway, not much sense in me pursuing it until this issue is resolved.
Thanks

There is an update (v2.0.160) and something has changed but it shows the programmed "Next run" for tasks that were already configured on a past date. And it does not look like it is triggering my daily tasks. I tried manually runing them to see if the "Next run" field updates but it keeps showing same date in the past. I'll wait and check if the process is trigerred and field updated during this night at the programmed hour but I suspect they will not. And I'll try creating new tasks, but this is something I do not want to do because it will be a terrible fix if we have to re-do all our tasks to have them working again.
