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. The lead author is Tuomo Valkonen ().
