OpnSense forgets to do backup to Google Drive.

[mendoza]

Goodmorning,

I set up opnsense to do backups to Google drive, and it did it couple of times as it should, but then it just stopped doing that... it does back up when i do that manually...
As you see in the picture, it stopped at January 30, the one in February 2 is made manually...

Don't anthropomorphise computers, they hate that! ;-)

Connect to the console and select option 13. Is there a regular cadence of backups? Are there any out of sequence around the 30th? That would indicate a change.

Ah! ok, ok i got it now :)  Here: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/cloud_backup.html

it says:

After set-up, the backup feature will run a first backup of the OPNsense configuration file. Then, if the configuration is subsequently changed, a new backup will be run once per day early in the morning.

So, if nothing in settings has been changed, backup will not be performed :)
