Setting up the background

1. Fill in all the required information for saving blobs.

Optional(recommended): Automatically upload saved blobs to the cloud.

2. Save it as a preset using the Save button.
3. Click Go to test it to make sure it works.
4. Hit Auto-Save Settings or ⌘,/ctrl,
5. Choose the saved device you want to save automatically in the background.
6. It will automatically test to see if it works.
7. If it's unsuccessful, cancel the device, fix the error, and try again
8. Optionally, change the frequency to check for new blobs.
9. Hit Start background and you can now close the app. Blobs will be saved automatically in the background at the frequency you set.

blobsaver doesn't actually run all the time in the background, and is only activated when it is time to save blobs to avoid wasting system resources. This is done using the OS's native scheduler (Launch Agents on macOS, Task Scheduler on Windows, systemd timers on Linux). There will not be any icons or notifications in the task bar/status bar because there is no process running.
