automatic backup scheduling does not work #226

thanks for the app!

unfortunately the automatic backups dont work for me. I set up some folders and did initial backups, but the app does not do any more snapshots automatically. I also dont get any errors or notifications etc.

The app has permissions to run in background and when unused. So I wonder how the automatic backups are implemented and how I can check why they dont run for me?

does the backup only run when connected to wifi?

It does request an unmetered network. Unfortunately Android does not expose controls for users to mark a mobile data connection as unmetered.
