# How can I tell when my next backup will run?

Look under the schedule line on the backup set's card. For a scheduled set it reads *"Next backup …"* with the day and time. If something is holding it, an orange line explains why instead — for example waiting for power.

The line above it summarises the rule in plain English, such as *"Every day at 02:00 · only on power"*. Click **Change…** to adjust it.
