Set your backups on autopilot

The scheduler is the part of BackupKit you set up once and stop thinking about. A short wizard turns a folder you care about into a backup that runs on its own — with explicit, predictable rules for retention, missed runs, and what happens when your PC is asleep at 2 AM.

Three steps to a running backup

The wizard takes you from "I have files I care about" to "they're backed up on a schedule" in under a minute.

Schedules that fit your workflow

From "every night at 2 AM" to "every six hours" to "only when I push the button" — pick what fits and BackupKit handles the timer.

• Daily — at a time you choose, every day
• Weekly — specific days (e.g. Mon/Wed/Fri)
• Custom intervals — every N hours, days, or weeks
• Manual only — triggered from the app, on your schedule

When a run is missed

Real PCs sleep, travel, and go offline. If a backup was due while yours was asleep, you decide what happens:

• Skip — pretend the slot never existed; wait for the next one
• Run immediately — catch up as soon as you're back online
• Wait for next schedule — silent no-op until the next scheduled time

Retention — keep backups from piling up

Stop old backups from eating your disk or cloud quota. Auto-cleanup runs by whichever rule you pick:

• By age — keep the last N days' worth
• By count — keep the most recent N versions
• Forever — skip cleanup entirely if that's what you want

Health dashboard & run history

Open BackupKit and see every job's status in one scroll. Drill into any job for per-run duration, transferred size, and detailed logs when something goes sideways.

• Green — last run succeeded, next run on schedule
• Yellow — last run was delayed, retried, or partial
• Red — last run failed; the log explains why
