This forum is probably not the place for it so if you want to email me ijg3...@gmail.com, I’ll email you response.
It’s not hard to set up though, in my opinion the trick is NOT to schedule backups but to use it’s own internal option to cycle the backups and/or syncs every x minutes. Also understand what you want, backup, sync, or both. Ian GARDENER Australia From: Terry L.
