Hi, So after the backup has completed the service status is shown as dead it will not start another backup unless I restart the service, am I doing something wrong? Thanks Nick

Please answer my following questions:

1. Did you install raspiBackup with the installer?
2. What's the output of

sudo systemctl status raspiBackup.timer 
sudo systemctl status raspiBackup.service 

3. What's the output of

cat /etc/systemd/system/raspiBackup.timer 
cat /etc/systemd/system/raspiBackup.service
