## Installation

1. Download the `Jellyfin.Plugin.AutoBackup.dll` for your Jellyfin version from the [Releases](../../releases) page
2. Place the DLL in your Jellyfin plugins folder (e.g. `/config/plugins/AutoBackup/`)
3. Restart Jellyfin
4. Open **Dashboard → Plugins → Auto Backup** to configure your schedules

## Configuration

### Schedules tab
Each schedule has:
- **Label** — a name for the schedule
- **Enabled** toggle
- **Backup content** — Database (always included), Metadata, Subtitles, Trickplay
- **Schedule type** — Every N hours / Daily / Weekly / Every N weeks / Monthly (fixed day) / Monthly (weekday)
- **Time** — hour and minute (in 15-minute steps) at which the backup runs

### Retention tab
Define how many backups to keep per backup content combination. When a backup run finishes, older matching backups are deleted automatically. Leave a combination without a rule to keep all backups of that type.

### Backups tab
Lists all existing backups with their creation date, filename, and content badges. Backups can be deleted directly from this tab.
