To test, select the yellow Manual button. If everything is ok, you see the Last Backup date with a recent timestamp.

Adding plugins that are not in the Feed eg. installing a IPK during restore
When there is a plugin you want to be installed during a restore, simply add the desired IPK file in the autobackup folder.
