[Feature Request] Backup MC Library on a User Set Schedule

<< < (3/3)

Hendrik:
Auto-Import is not scheduled, it listens to filesystem events and runs on demand when something changes.
Backups are currently created every 2 days I believe, at least thats what my backup folder looks like (unless you restart MC all the time, that can throw off the schedule)

IMV It would be helpful if the existing reporter functionality (which says some of what is going on right now) were replaced/augmented by a user facing log file that just listed the events as they happen and surfaced this in the UI. The existing log is not this as that is a debug log from a user point of view.

That may be - but the shortcoming here is the "something changes" part.

I have witnessed countless scenarios where I copy 5 albums to my music share and watch my server copy of MC take anywhere from 2 minutes to 20 minutes to actually pick up these changes.

It would be a lot more useful if I had a option to tell MC that I want Auto Import run everytime something changes instead of taking it's sweet time to do it. I usually have to resort to running Auto Import manually to get the library current.

And of course - this is the same story with backups. 2 days is useless for an active installation with a lot of changes. Again - I resort to doing it manually to make sure I am backed up.

Both of these processes can be improved upon.
