⏰ Scheduling Behavior (Automated)

If you opt in, the script will:

    Ask for frequency (daily/weekly)

    Ask for time of day (24-hour format)

    Register a Task Scheduler task named WowUI_Backup

To reconfigure:

Delete the file: wowUI_config.json

Re-run run_wow_backup.bat

This will let you choose folders again and reconfigure the scheduler.

💡 Pro Tips

Backups are saved as zip files in your chosen destination folder

Backups are timestamped like: wowUI_Backup_2025-04-16_2205.zip

Old backups are never overwritten (you can prune them manually if needed)

🧹 Uninstalling / Removing the Task

To remove the scheduled task manually:

Run in Powershell as admin: Unregister-ScheduledTask -TaskName "WowUI_Backup" -Confirm:$false

To reset everything, delete:

wowUI_config.json

The scheduled task (WowUI_Backup)

Any backup .zip files
