I was looking forward to the auto / scheduled backup, but I have yet to see it actually work without my doing it manually... anyone else?

Yes - can confirm that this is an issue . Can't do it neither ...

We've confirmed that this indeed doesn't work quite right, and have updated Daylite to fix the issue; please re-download and re-install Daylite. Make sure the build number is 1611 (or above) as shown in the About window.

Please visit the Maintenance pane to confirm your settings and backups should work properly afterwards.

I did that. I will give it a few days and then check my backup folder...

Thanks for the reply..

Seems to work now .. thx.
