  Depends. If you are running it as a service that starts with the system (sudo sysemctl enable kopia) then yes, it will use it’s own scheduler.

    I couldn’t find a systemd unit or service.

    Kopia will then automatically begin taking the snapshot following the settings you set for the policy. link

    I’m not yet sure about that

        It’s a fedora server.

        according to kopia’s repo, there is no official systemd service github.com/kopia/kopia/issues/2685 and there is none on my system.

        in the past week, it did not backup anything. Hence, there is no scheduler built into kopia automagically as described/ hinted in the docs.

        I just wrote a systemd service and timer and I’ll see if it works. I’m not the best in using systemd. I dislike it, I like cron for it’s simplicity.

        Even if it works then, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone because info about the scheduler is rare and the docs do not even cover the topic.
