- The configuration will be to turn it on, where to store the backup, and how many to keep.
- Keep a minimum of two copies, but allow "manual management".
- The backup will run after the device connection jobs, but before the reading status store and the ... jobs.

How does that sound to everyone?


Sounds like sheer utter perfection. You really should go the PayPal route. I'd send you some money and I hate Paypal so much my last contribution to Kovid was through a third party I'd shipped something from Canada for.
