If you are not on MacOS, no tray icon will be displayed, but you can still use Borgend as a retrying 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 once 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 up +to a remote ssh location, Borgend will also retry the backup at set shorter intervals. + The lead author is Tuomo Valkonen (<tuomov@iki.fi>). ## Installation
