Backup: Would be better if it was possible to set a specific time and day of the week for when to take the backup. I am backing up to a server that is not running all the time… so nice if I would be able to coordinate to start the server and the backup.
You can already set the time, and a frequency, ie every day, second day etc
Why not back up to your Core PC then run some Sync program to copy to your server when it’s up ?
Running at startup is a bad idea, my backup takes maybe 10 minutes and totally hi jacks the Core using all processor power,
I restart daily so that would extend my PC restart time ridiculously. I backup mid morning when I am unlikely to be listening.
I disagree… I will like the backup to run every Saturday 2 am… no matter if the backup was taken or not, it should still run every Saturday 2 am…
Today you can schedule ‘every 7 day’ but if the backup is not taken it will try the day after and from there wait 7 days.
Well, I guess it’s a typical “one should be able to choose in the settings” thing.
That assumes your core is “always on”. Mine isn’t during the summer the chance of a lightning strike is high so all electronics are disconnected from the mains when “unattended” .
Some years ago I lost most of my hi fi due to a strike, streamer , amp, switch, video streamer and that was through the telephone line !!!
The backup process cripples the core PC so it is scheduled when there is no activity , in my case 10AM.
You can get around you 7 day cycle by doing it every day and limiting the number stored to say 10 or 20
There is probably no one size fits all 
Agree… no size fits all… Danny ask for input… I have provided a suggestion…
