I'm backing up to a network location (a laptop) that is intermittently on and off.
Is there any way for Cobain Backup to, when encountering a "The network path was not found" err, wait 5 minutes, then try again?

Currently my backup configuration just moves on to try the next file, which also received the same error, and the next file, and the next file. Since the entire backup is to a network drive that just turned off mid-backup, it's pointless for my backup to continue trying other files. Can it wait a few minutes and then try the one that failed until it stops failing, and then resume when it doesn't fail any longer?



Different question: If I shut off my computer with Cobain running on it, does it resume next time the computer starts, or does it start the task over from the beginning?

I'll see what can be done in the future, but you could add a pause as a pre-backup event.

Thanks for considering it!
The problem is the remote connection breaks halfway through the backup, especially since full backups can take several hours, so a pre-backup event wont help.
