Thats true! As Mario recommended, I recommend to have some simple setting just to make backup and other advanced for making zip etc. The download folder on windows is known so set it and lets user only change the user name
One confusion is! I have set the automatic backup I changed something in browser and save it and want to refresh! What should I do stay 60 sec to see if polly have done her job? Or stop polly make a backup using O (once) and return to browser! One solution: Instead of time period for saving lets polly scan the download folder and if a change is detected then start the backup!
