This plugin allows you to schedule OctoPrint backups at regular configured intervals. If a print is on going at the time of initializing the backup the backup will be delayed until the ongoing print is completed, cancelled, or fails.
WARNING: This plugin currently does not monitor your disk usage in any way.
NOTE: The time settings are based on the device's local time that OctoPrint is running on. For octopi users use sudo raspi-config to set your time and appropriate timezone.

Why is there a feature to check a mount? The problem is that flash memory segments wear out after a fairly low number of erase cycles, and the SD card’s wear-leveling algorithm will eventually cordon off enough of the card to cause file system issues. As the backup plugin writes repeatingly to the SD card and also all backups are also lost if the SD card is broken it is important to offload the backup to e.g. a NAS. With a NFS mount the backups are directly written to a share, avoiding both issues in one step.
The backup folder is located on OctoPrints base directory/data/backup.
pi@octopi:~/.octoprint/data/backup $ ls
