I am very new at this. I have a dual boot (WIn10 and WIn7) system and I used KopiaUI though Rclone to connect to a Google drive. That worked fine from the Windows 7 image. Since it is a dual boot system, only one image at a time can be active and I want to have Kopia run the same way from either system. Since one image is Win7 Kopia is not at current level. I connected the Win10 image to the repository created under Win7 and it mostly works (snapshots run on schedule). My biggest problem is that maintenance does not run on the Win10 image (It runs automatically on the Win7 image). I am thinking that this has something to do with the snapshots being Local on Win7 and not on Win10, but maybe not. How can I make the connections from each of the images the same, so everything works the same? An additional (minor) problem is that I have Hourly retention set to 72 but it never goes above 46. Is there an upper limit? ---

Only one `user@hostname` is designated as the maintenance owner. Either always connect as the same `user@hostname` or change maintenance ownership when needed.
