New user here. I got a remote repo set up via SFTP, 3x snapshots created manually via CLI, policy set but for some reason the auto-snapshots are not created. I added new files to the source.
Does the kopia server need to run on my server for the snapshot schedule to work (sudo kopia server -insecure)? Manual snapshots go through fine without issues. I could not access the web UI on the server but was able to configure the repository, snapshot and policy via CLI.
Scenario:
Server hosts a docker container for Immich (self hosted photo backup). I want to follow 3-2-1 backup policy with Kopia creating backup snapshots from Immich to a remote Raspberry Pi3 with a 500gb drive attached to it. Repository connection successful, manual snapshots created with policy fine. Policy dictates to ignore 3 folders that works. Initial backup was ~7gb and now should see incremental backups.
However when I add additional photos that should get backed up then no scheduled runs take place. It has been close to 24hrs since I added photos w/o schedule picking it up. Rebooted the physical machine etc. Manual snapshots do pick up the new files.
