This limits the use of the Mac version, but we hope that in the future ZipCloud will add the other advanced scheduling options. There are no advanced scheduling or pause features. This can be handy if you do not want backups to run during work hours for instance.įor Mac you can set the backup schedule to Hourly (upgrade charge) and Daily. Additionally you can set the the schedule to pause the backup. The advanced schedule gives you the ability to set the backup for any type of schedule you want.
