Pretty much all of the requests at that time come from Deja Dup/Duplicity. - The default schedule should be changed such that backups are spread out - over the day instead of all at the same time. + This makes it more likely that users will see errors from Ubuntu One + being overloaded, like in bug 882699. + + [Fix] + Due to a bug, we always were backing up at midnight UTC, rather than midnight local time. While fixing that, I also put in code to randomly choose a time between 2 and 4 AM (local time), rather than midnight. + + [Test Case] + * Enable daily automatic backups + * Change your time zone so that it is 2AM + * Wait two hours. Deja Dup should start backing up within those two hours. + + [Regression Potential] + * The only code changed was the automatic scheduler. So any regressions would be there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1154920 Title: Backup schedule should be spread over the day To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/1154920/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
