Notify before a scheduled backup, giving the option to cancel and maybe to delay

Open t-m-w opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Before performing a scheduled backup, notify that it is about to occur. Offer the ability to cancel that particular scheduled run, and possibly to delay it.

I'm not sure how much time is appropriate for a warning - I could see as low as 30 seconds, as high as 2 minutes, maybe?

Would be helpful if the notification could "count down" but having one at all would be nice.

Is this only to help with https://github.com/seedvault-app/seedvault/issues/778 or are there other use-cases?

Mostly #778 but there could be other times that a backup is not appropriate, such as if you're on a particular Wi-Fi network which may not be metered but is far enough from home that you'd rather wait, or if you know you're on flaky Wi-Fi, or if you want to reboot your phone, or you're about to need to go into Airplane Mode, etc.

Desperately need this or a way to cancel an already running backup on at least a way to set a schedule time when the backup should never run.
