Auto Backup Option?
« on: March 17, 2012, 01:29:06 pm »
Hi - love the Backup feature to Dropbox which works perfectly, but is there any change of having an automatic backup feature available that did it at a fixed time? It's always the same, you forget to backup manually after you make major changes and then either lose the iPhone or accidentally delete the App (I have carelessly managed to do this three times sofar).  Maybe the feature could include the option to automatically do a backup upon exiting the App?

Sorry, but no it is not possible.  The problem is that once the iOS device is "sleeping", there is nothing the program can do.  It cannot "wakeup" from sleep.

Doing a backup during exit is also not possible.  Once the shut down process is started, it will kill the app before that could be done.  Also if you do not have internet access or was sporadic, it would not be possible without some sort of user feedback.
