        According to earlier info, it should add schedule + LTR and has done so before
        But I will try to make any change just to have it to reread the conf

            Changing to 1 and we will see at 09:05

                @ph7 Hi,
                We found the issue. It should be fixed by https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/9667
                However, given the number of delta, it may take a while to merge the whole chain back to 2 backups.

                fbeauchamp opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra

                closed fix(backups): schedule reference is missing #9667

                    Changed backup retension to 5 and wait for the 15:05 run
                    Looks like You nailed it 👍

                        I was running the shedule with 20 mins backup retention and it is running fine together with the LTR
                        And here is the manual I ran at 14:56 removed
