## First-Time Setup & Overview
Once started, WoW Backup runs discreetly in the system tray / menu bar:
1. **Accessing Dashboard**: Click the tray icon in the macOS menu bar or Windows/Linux system tray to open the application window.
2. **Settings Configuration**:
- Navigate to **Settings** (gear icon).
- Set your **World of Warcraft Installation Folder** (e.g. `_retail_` or `_classic_`).
- Select your **Backup Destination Folder**.
- Set your preferred **Daily Backup Time**, **Retention Policy** (number of backups to keep), and **Compression Mode** (`ZIP` or folder replication).
- Optionally enable **Launch at Startup** so backups occur automatically without manual intervention.
3. **Lifecycle**: Closing the main window hides it to the tray while keeping the scheduler running. To quit the application completely, select **Quit** from the tray menu.
