I just want to back up right now. Selected manual, and gave it a name. Why is it scheduling it for 5:30am?

#

Deleted it, created a new one. Says manual now, but stick on pending. How do I force this to move forward. Should not be this hard to back up files.

Any chance you swapped it to scheduled, or reopened the tab and didn't reselect manual?

I just tested this and mine is working as intended.

Its pending while it makes the backup. Check your tasks on the bottom right of your screen. You should see it working on the backup there.

Got it, I did switch to scheduled, but never selected a date.

Would be nice to see a button on the pending backup itself that opens this tasks window

#

Should it be taking this long too? This was started 7 minutes ago

That, or better wording then just pending.

Would make a great #💌suggestions 🙂

Depends on the size of your files, but creating and restoring backups do take a little time.

#

If it doesn't make significant progress soon, you can reach out to the support staff and they can check if everything looks okay.
