This article includes basic steps to create a schedule as well as some suggestions to ensure your backup jobs in an efficient way.

How to create a schedule

A backup scheme divides into five options: One-time, Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Upon Event. In all options, users can choose the time, and backup type. For Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Upon Event options, users can not only set up a specific time, but also a time period.

Set a specific time point to execute the backup once.

 

Suppose start time is at 6:00 am and finish time at 10:00 am with 2-hour interval time. Backups will be executed for three time at different time points, 6:00 am, 8:00 am and 10:00 am.

Or execute backup every X week(s) on the specific day(s) and every X hour(s)/minutes(s) from start time to expire time.
 

The backup is to be automatically executed in the specific month(s) at the scheduled time, which may be based on date or week. You can also specific every X hour(s)/minutes(s) from start time to expire time on specific day(s) in specific month(s). 

USB device plugged in - Backup runs automatically when USB device is plugged in provided that it is set to be the destination.

It requires administrator privileges to execute backup tasks by the schedule. If the default "System" account does not have such privileges, please click "Change User" to add a local administrator account.

To locate an Admin account on the computer, you can use "Whoami" command:

Load from template/Save as template

Users can save a backup scheme as template and load it later.
Note:
1. All rules in backup schemes can be modified or removed.
2. It is supported to execute backups of different priority levels (full-high, differential-normal, incremental-low) at the same time.
3. Backups with different priorities will be executed from high to low in sequence. And for those with the same priority, our product will perform only one of them to avoid conflicts.

 

Backup Cleanup

To prevent the destination task from running out of space, users can also set up a Backup cleanup rule, to delete outdated backup images automatically, and select Reserve image via image merging method.

 

By ticking this option, the latest missed backup will be automatically executed at the startup of Windows in the case that your computer happens to be shutdown or power failure in Daily, Weekly or Monthly scheduled backup.
