Hello Ken thank you for your reply. I folllowed your advise, put Moodle into debugging mode and create a .bat file to run 'automated_backups.php'. I have forced this to run several times but it performed the same as previously, no errors or faults just still courses backing up 'OK' that I would expect to be skipped.
Admittedly I haven't looked in the log file areas you mentioned but wondered if it would make any difference with the backup not actually erroring?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
