note

When you collect backup logs from a Duplicati server, duplistatus automatically updates the overdue monitoring intervals and configurations.

tip

For best results, collect backup logs after changing backup job intervals configuration in your Duplicati server. This ensures duplistatus stays synchronised with your current configuration.
