Local Backup ok - Manual Back up to BackBlaze?

Having a issue where My Local Backup completed ok last night. But My BackBlaze got 50% of the files. (Happens once in a while) Is there a way to reforce Manual Back up to BackBlaze of a specific backup? Local backup folder is complete, so I don't want to do the entire backup again.

  I believe this would do what you need it to: # /usr/local/cpanel/bin/cpbackup_transporter --help cpbackup_transporter [options] This script lets you start or stop the backup queue transports With no arguments, running this will start the backup queue transport daemon --stop - stop all transfers --help - dislay this help message and exit

  I can see it starts the daemon, but it sits waiting for tasks. Anyway command to have it repeat last back transport task?

  Ahh I was hoping it would actually enqueue any incomplete transports but unfortunately, it looks like this isn't a feature that is included. I found a feature request for this as well.

  Good to know there is a feature request. Is there anyway to prevent Transported backups from getting deleted? I'd like to have a big archive of them on backblaze, but my local server has limited disk space.

  The retention settings will prune local and remote, the only way I could think of to do this would be to move the backups on the remote server to a different folder (you could most likely automate this with a script that runs every so often)

  With BackBlaze I can manually create snapshots of backups
