Hi @Enricosx,
was something changed within the directory? You set to ignore identical snapshots. If nothing is changed than kopia does not create a snapshot if this setting is set to true.

Cheers,

more file i think is changed, is a file server for ten users.
i can’t find log how any tasks.

Is kopia running in the background? Setting up a schedule within the policy when running kopia only with the CLI is not enough.

If you are running Kopia only with the CLI you will need to setup a task within windows that runs periodically (like cron on linux).

Maybe your current setup with autologon causes some issues.

Cheers,

I had this issue so had to run kopia-ui as a service then it’ll run even when not logged in or in taskbar.
