Public bug reported: I have scheduled daily backups for a laptop to be kept forever on a drive that is often disconnected from the laptop. I connect it when I can; when I connect it, it both starts a backup and gives an error that an operation is already pending. Being forced to close a message every time I connect the drive that an operation is already pending is apparently a bug. Please fix it so that the backup starts without telling me an operation (presumably the backup that starts) is already pending.
