Backup copy job finishes but offsite repository missing newest restore points

Minimal guidance for messy support realities.

Scenario

Local backups are current, but the offsite copy job lags or skips the most recent points.

Recommended Resolution Path

  1. Check copy mode, job chaining, and whether backup windows overlap badly.
  2. Review repository space, immutability state, and WAN throttling before rerunning jobs.
  3. Confirm the newest restore point exists locally and is eligible for copy under policy.
  4. Treat offsite lag as a recoverability risk, not a cosmetic reporting issue.

Technician Notes

Document what changed, what confirmed the fix, and whether the issue points to a broader standards gap worth addressing for the client.
