Hi,

IMHO, - do not over complicate it. Create a script with

```auto
kopia snapshot create $SourcePath1
kopia snapshot create $SourcePath2
...
kopia snapshot create $SourcePathN

kopia maintenance run --full

```

and place it into file `/etc/cron.d/MyKopiaBackups` with content like

```auto
15 2 * * * YourBackupUser [-x /path/2/your/script] && /path/2/your/script

```

Will the use of the policy function be done automatically? do not enable cronjo

I don’t think so. There a bunch of operation systems that has different schedulers and support all of them in a single application would be very wrong. Those `kopia` policy works when kopiaUI continuously working.
