Auto Resume After Downtime – Automatic Backup Recovery

1

Interrupted? No Problem.

Power outage. Server reboot. Network glitch. These are normal — not failures.

SquirrelBak doesn’t panic. It simply pauses, remembers its state, and waits to continue.

2

Persistent Queue & Checkpoint

The SquirrelBak Sender maintains a local queue of files waiting to be backed up.

It also records a checkpoint — the last successfully transferred file — so it never guesses where to resume.

                        ✅ Queue survives reboots

                        ✅ Checkpoint is updated after each successful transfer

                        ✅ No risk of duplicates or missed files

Reconnect & Resume

When the network or receiver comes back online, SquirrelBak automatically reconnects.

It resumes from the last checkpoint — no scanning, no full sync — just continues copying where it stopped.

4

Back to Silent Mode

Once caught up, SquirrelBak returns to real-time monitoring — silently watching for new files.

You never need to log in, click “retry”, or check status. It just works — like a squirrel that never forgets where it buried the nuts.
