### Expected Log Output
```

```

### Verify It's Working

Wait 2-3 minutes and check:
1. ✅ `backend\backup.log` has multiple entries
2. ✅ R2 bucket has new backup files
3. ✅ Task Scheduler shows "Last Run Result: (0x0)" = Success

### If It Works - Convert to Weekly

1. Open Task Scheduler
2. Find "Recipe DB Backup TEST"
3. Right-click → Properties
4. Go to **Triggers** tab
5. Edit the trigger:
   - Settings: Change to `Weekly`
   - Recur every: `1 weeks`
   - Days: Select `Sunday` (or your preferred day)
   - Time: `02:00:00` (2 AM)
   - **Uncheck** "Repeat task every"
6. Click OK
7. **Rename task**: Right-click → Rename → "Recipe DB Weekly Backup"

### Troubleshooting

**No backup.log file:**
- Task might not be running
- Check Task Scheduler History tab
- Run `run_backup.bat` manually first

**backup.log shows errors:**
- Check if Python is in PATH
- Verify database credentials in `.env`
- Verify R2 credentials in `.env`

**Task shows "Could not start":**
- Verify the paths are correct
- Make sure you entered Windows password
- Try "Run" button in Task Scheduler manually

**Want to stop test:**
- Right-click task → Disable
- Or delete the task

### Manual Test First

Before setting up Task Scheduler, test manually:
```bash
cd C:\Users\dvirl\OneDrive\Desktop\gitea\my-recipes\backend
run_backup.bat
```

Check if:
1. backup.log is created
2. Backup appears in R2
3. No errors in log

If manual test works, Task Scheduler will work too!
