Backups

The Backups menu allows you to schedule automated backups or run them manually on demand.

The Backups page has two tabs:

• Tasks: Create, edit, and manage backup configurations
• History: View completed, failed, and running backup operations

Tasks

This tab allows you to create and manage backup configurations. Each backup task defines which R2 bucket to backup, how often to run the backup, and how many backup copies to retain.

Creating a Backup Task

To create a new backup task, see Creating a Backup Task

Backup Task Cards

Once you’ve created backup tasks, they are listed here.

When a backup is actively running, the task card displays a pulsing blue status indicator.

Task Actions

Each backup task provides the following actions:

• Run Now: Immediately start a new backup without waiting for the scheduled time
• Stop: Cancel a currently running backup
• Edit: Modify the task’s configuration, the process is largely the same as Creating a Backup Task
• Delete: Delete the backup task configuration and remove it from the task schedule

History

The History tab shows all backup runs, including completed, failed, and currently running backups. Each backup run is displayed as a card with detailed information about the operation.

Completed Backups

Successfully completed backups display statistics about the operation:

• Duration: How long the backup took to complete
• Files: Number of files transferred, and how many were skipped (already up to date)
• Size: Total amount of data transferred
• Bucket: Which R2 bucket was backed up

Failed Backups

If a backup fails, an error message explains what went wrong

Running Backups

Active backups show real-time progress information:

• Progress Bar: Visual indicator of completion percentage
• Transfer Status: Amount transferred vs. total size
• Speed: Current download speed
• ETA: Estimated time to completion
• Current File: Which file is currently being transferred

Actions

For completed and failed backups:

• View Files: Open the local folder containing the backup files
• Delete: Remove the backup run from history
• Stop: Stop running backup operation and cancel it

When deleting a backup run, you can select Preserve backup files and only remove the backup record from R2Clone.

If Preserve backup files is not selected, the local files will also be deleted.

Backup Storage Location

All backups are stored in the location you configured in Settings.

Within that location, each backup task creates its own folder structure:

R2Clone/
  └── [Bucket Name]/
      └── [Source Path]/
          └── [files and folders]

Each completed task uses the taskname and completed time for the directory the contents are stored in.

For example, a backup task named “bluebird” of /Documents from the bluebird bucket would be stored at:
