thanks + scheduling #30

hi, am using this on KDE Neon and just wanted to say it works really well! (i'm a new Linux user, so it's easy to understand as well :p) thanks for developing! also wanted to ask if you've considered adding a scheduler for regular backups, i think that would be a nice addition. Rik

I am not the developer, but I have discovered from the aptik manual that, by combining aptik's command-line operations with cron (or anachron), then one can schedule backups. One will need some knowledge to do this, though (and one might want to 'nice', i.e. deprioritise background backups). I am pleased to discover this scheduling facility - great! - but aptik has no GUI for it.
