Is it possible to run on a schedule?

I want to use this to archive one of my channels to an offsite Synology NAS. Is it possible to set it on a schedule to automatically download the latest uploads?

Did you mean, script as like below?
I found channel downloading method that mentioned "How do I download only new videos from a playlist?" at https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl

While testing this, as you said, it wrote the channel's video address in a file called archive.txt, row by row, then firstly downloaded all of channel video. If run the same command later, it will appear to read the video information in the archive.txt file and download only the new video without it.

It seems to be useful for channel management. Interesting.

• command
  youtube-dl --download-archive archive.txt https://www.youtube.com/channel/YOUR_CHANNEL

• for example,
  youtube-dl --download-archive archive.txt https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmLADXQtWVuzOnOK5TNrWaw

Exactly that!
