** Description changed: 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 a 'Backups - failed' error stating 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. + can; when I connect it, it gives a 'Backups failed' error stating that + an operation is already pending.
