# What does "Also make one version a day" do?

It adds a daily scheduled version on top of **As things change**. It's a safety net for folders you edit constantly: continuous backups wait for a quiet moment after your changes, and in a folder that never stops changing, that moment may never come.

Turn it on in the set's **Change…** popover, under **As things change**, then pick the time. The card's summary then reads something like *"Backs up as things change · plus every day at 02:00"*.
