Configuration Options

  • Enable automatic database backups: Toggle this checkbox to enable or disable scheduled database backups.

  • Backup Directory: The root directory path where backup files will be stored. Leave empty to use the default location (<data dir>\backups). Within this directory, backups are organized into subfolders: database for scheduled database backups, configs for configuration backups (created during upgrades), and certs for certificate backups (created during upgrades).

  • Maximum Backups to Keep: The number of backup files to retain (0–365, default 14). When the count is exceeded, the oldest backups are automatically deleted. Set to 0 to keep all backups (no automatic deletion).

Schedules

You can configure one or more backup schedules. Each schedule entry consists of:

  • Time: The time of day to run the backup in 24-hour HH:mm format.
  • Days: The days of the week on which the backup should run (Monday through Sunday).

Click the Add button to add a new schedule entry, or click Remove to delete an existing entry.
