Tracking down those who skip the backup

[Matthew Johnson]

The bane of BIMserver managers everywhere must be those users who don't want to be the one whose workstation does the PLN backup for shared projects. Becasue if everyone on the team assumes someone else is doing it, then the backups never get saved.

How can we track/log those users who select "skip" when asked to do the backup?

Can there be a way to override this at a permissions level so that only senior team members can skip?

Should public floggings be reintroduced as a fitting punishment?

We tend to switch off the PLN backups for that very reason altogether and rely on the automatic BIMprojects instead - ideally reduced to a manageable frequency, instead of the default... obviously it also depends on your overall backup strategy.

Btw. we are developing a monitoring tool at the moment, called SONAR.

Still in beta and currently only available for macOS and BIMcloud Basic.
