Hi, on Remote Control 4.0.3, I set some site backups to go at 5 minute intervals and none of the six have started. :-(

My schedule for one is in the screenshot. I notice when I go to the scheduler, the dragable bars are set to 01.55 instead of the 21.55 that is showing in the screenshot. 22.10 comes out as 2.10

I ran a few other manual backups. Would this prevent the scheduler from running?

Thanks again.

Manual backups will short-circuit the scheduler. Whenever you backup your site, Remote Control stores the date and time of the backup in its own database. Say that you run a manual backup on January 17th, 2011 on a site scheduled to backup daily. The next automated backup will run on January 18th, 2011. Why? You told ARC that you want your site to be backed up once per day. Your site is already backed up on the 17th, so it shouldn't try to back it up again. Makes sense, doesn't it?

Fair enough.

And the time issue I mentioned, shown in the screenshot? See how the time gets changed? Makes an unintentional change quick likely I think.

I can not reproduce this :( Which operating system are you using (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X)? Also, which regional settings are you using for time formatting (24 hour clock or 12 hour clock with AM/PM)?

Hi again, windows 7 with updates, 12 hour clock with am/pm, set to (UTC+12:00) Auckland, Wellington, with the region being new Zealand. More settings in the screenshot.
