Configuration

After installation, open Auto Backup from the Jellyfin sidebar or via Dashboard → Plugins.

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.
