Never rely on this alpha version to backup your data and always test that backups are accessible.

Screen Saver

The last one is the quietest, and it might be the one that saves you. When the machine is idle, the screen saver shows you where you stand.

When the last backup ran. How much is protected. Whether anything failed. What's running right now. No app to open, no report to read. This blanks out all screens and will show your stats, every 30 seconds it will dim to black and back again to prevent burn in

You glance at it walking past, and you never quietly fall a month behind.
