Backups Haven't Run in Almost Two Weeks

Posted on August 18, 2014

I have a one gigabyte droplet (in the NYC2 region, if it matters), with Automatic Backups turned on. For some reason, the backups went from running approximately ever two days, it has not run for about 12 days. I have not changed any settings in the control panel. There has not be any software change on the droplet, either.

Is there some potential cause I am not aware of? Would toggling it off, and back on be possible, and if so, helpful?

Thanks in advance

I have the same problem. I returned from vacation and noticed there has been zero backup done during my absence.

I contacted the support a few days and they triggered a manual backup (successfully). It seems they have to fix an issue about backups but I’ll have to wait a few more days to see if automatic backups do work again (or not).
