Overview:

The “Settings > General” screen is the main interface for managing all general settings for the plugin. There are currently two main sections “Plugin” and “Debug”.The Plugin area controls settings related to the use and interaction of the plugin in the context of the WordPress environment. The Debug area is used to enabledebug utilities.

Schedules use predefined templates to run from. Templates allow you to choose which files and database tables you would like to make as part of your backup process.A schedule can also be tied to a storage endpoint and pushed upto the cloud as part of its runtime directive.
