Hello, we are using Hangfire Pro with Redis storage and when we start a new BackgroundJobServer we have the following exception (the retries never work):

Hi, what Redis version are you using and where did you get it? Such a problem may occur, when you are using Redis older than 2.6.12.

Indeed it was version 2.4.6. So you can close this one. thank you for your rapid answer!

Great, for Windows I’d recommend you to use MSOpenTech version of Redis: https://github.com/MSOpenTech/redis. However, I will not recommend it for production usage, because it’s not maintained anymore, and there were bugs. Microsoft uses their own private fork of Redis in Azure, but it’s not accessible for us.
