Needs robust network support

by MV10 » Mon Apr 10, 2023 9:02 am

I want to propose the addition of network retry policies.

I write backups to NAS drives. I have a pretty large, busy home network. It isn't uncommon for some of the lower-priority devices to briefly lose connectivity, particularly laptops running over WiFi. When this happens, R-Drive simply gives up. Personally I'd prefer that R-Drive continuously retry until it succeeds, but I imagine there are people who'd like other options, like delay and/or backoff intervals, and maximum retry counts.

Is there any chance of getting such a feature added?
