If you are not on MacOS, no tray icon will be displayed, but you can still use Borgend as a scheduler. -You can have multiple backups to the same repository, for example, you may backup a small subset of your files every couple of hours, and everything once a day or once a week. Borgend will ensure that only one backup is launched at a time, and queue the other one until the repository is available. +Designed with laptops in mind, Borgend works in “dreamtime”: on MacOS the scheduler discounts system sleep periods from the backup intervals. If you wish, you can also choose “realtime” scheduling. +You can have multiple backups to the same repository; for example, you may backup a small subset of your files every couple of hours, and everything once a day or once a week. Borgend will ensure that only one backup is launched at a time, and queue the other one until the repository is available. If there was an error, such as when you are offline and backup to a remote ssh location, Borgend will also retry the backup at set shorter intervals.
