Sleep Prevention & System Tray Residency

Blocks system sleep while waiting for schedules and supports background startup on Windows boot.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. I cannot select automatic scheduled execution in a corporate environment (only manual is available).

A. To use the scheduled automatic execution feature in corporate environments such as domain-joined PCs or Entra ID (Azure AD) environments, a Pro Edition subscription (license activation) is required.
However, you can still use the "Run Now" button for manual backups without restriction even in the Free Edition.

Q. Is it necessary to install additional frameworks like .NET Runtime?

A. No, it is not required.
This application is a portable app compiled as a standalone executable using .NET 10 (Native AOT). It runs standalone without requiring any external runtime installations. It also does not use the Windows Registry.

Q. Will the PC go to sleep while waiting for a backup and skip the execution?

A. You can prevent unintended sleep while waiting for a backup by enabling "Block PC from going to sleep while waiting for schedules" in the "General Settings" tab.

Q. What is the criteria for error judgment based on the Robocopy Exit Code recorded in the log?

A. The Robocopy exit code is a bitmask. This application treats "0 to 7" as Successful (including normal file copies, no changes, and warnings like extra files in the destination). If an exit code of "8 or higher" (indicating some copy failures or fatal errors) occurs, it is evaluated and notified as an error.

Q. Can I send external notifications when a backup completes or an error occurs?

A. Yes. By configuring a Slack Webhook URL or an ntfy.sh Topic Name in the "General Settings" tab, you can automatically send backup execution results and error notifications to your chat tools or smartphone.
