Yeah - sorry, I meant the checkpoint timer, which I believe, is at a default of 40 mins. Each snapshot, that takes longer than that - KopiaUI will display a 0-Size in the main screen.

Anyway, despite the technical possibility of running a snapshot over 49+ days - even longer, if you imagine, that this host will be put to sleep or shutdown in the evening, I still don’t think, that you can call this a regular backup. I was just trying to make this clear.
