I have been making a bunch of changes to my system lately, so doing a lot of backups.  This has raised some questions:

1. Why does EISY (IOX 5.8.4) not allow one to set a backup path that is static? All backups would then go to that location, unless changed at the time of backup. (my backup path is five levels deep, so this would save quite a bit of time).

2.Why does EISY not allow one to set backup options, like backup on every close of the AC, or backup every 14 days? Or delete backups older than xx?

3. Why is there no command line option or API to allow one to schedule backups outside of the AC? EISY is the only system I'm using that I can think of that requires me to do a manual backup.

On Windows 10, it remembers for me. I don't have this issue

I backup up based on material changes that I make to programs, configuration or notification settings. I would not backup unless a change has been made

My Polisy and previous ISY994 remembers the last directory path I used. I am using Win 11 on two different machines. I think the path is remebered by ISY device from the last backup done.

After program or other changes a pop-up on closing would be a nice feature.

Thanks. On my Mac, it does not remember the path.
