We're constantly working to improve your SimpleBackups experience, here's a summary of what has changed…

Improvements:

• General UX improvements
• Archive logs + ability to view archived logs
• Application & backup performance boost
• New Mysql, MongoDb and Postgres backup article

Fixes

• Reduce the number of emails sent to users

SimpleBackups will automatically retry running your failed scheduled backups whenever possible to avoid missing backup runs resulting from temporary issues.

Some of the situations where we will retry taking your backups:

• Too many connections error
• Can't connect to MySQL server
• Connection to your server timed out
• MySQL query execution was interrupted
• Lost connection to MySQL server during query

We will let you know if your backup schedule needs adjustment and if there is a possibility of having overlapping backup runs ⚡️

You can now see some useful stats when you view your backups like:

• The upcoming scheduled runs
• The average time it takes to complete each backup
• The total time spent for a currently running backup
• A heads up when a currently running backup is taking more than usual
• Advice about what your backups schedule should be if it is not correctly set

We have refined the backups dashboard to give it a cleaner and a more organized look.
