In any case, the capture is set to INTERVAL every 1 day starting from xxx... so why is it not trying to backup ? It did backup on the 27th, more than one day ago... (a)
[we're the 28th at noon as I write this]
And lastly, looking at the log, (c), there is no schedule using IncyBack.quanta so why is it looking for it? When is it going to delete alias of long gone archives in its Preferences? At the level just before max, messages about this fill the screen as if this was a terrible problem! (no screenshot of this).
- (a) INTERVAL does not seem to work as I would expect of interval
- (b) If a scheduled backup is skipped, I think a log entry would be good. Again this is all about visibility on what the scheduler is/was/will be up to.
- (c) alias removal in pref

Actions are not scheduled while the computer is off. When you restart, actions will be scheduled to run at their next calculated run time.
Actions do not run?nothing does?while the computer is sleeping. When the computer wakes up, any actions that would have started while asleep are started immediately.

If you want a QRecall action to run consistently at 1:00 every morning, schedule your computer to start up at least 30 minutes before.

Note: There's an alarm clock for mac out there that makes the mac wake up from sleep at some time: integrating that in QRecall would be smart. You can even program power on I think...

An Interval schedule runs an action at regular intervals originating from a reference time.
