Hello, everyone. Just wanted to drop by to say thanks to everyone who helped. I still don't know what caused the backups to malfunction, but this is another subject.

No, I couldn't figure it out, and your tool was very helpful, since it indicated exactly what I was looking for, i.e. the time where I would be able to renew the certificate. And indeed, I could finally renew it at the exact time which was indicated by your tool.
