To schedule a backup job from the Schedulers window, please follow these steps:
- Open Backup4all
- If you schedule the backup job using Backup Properties, open the Properties window by pressing (Ctrl+P)
- Go to Scheduler page and press Add as in the image bellow to create a new task.
5. In the Run section, make sure Backup job is selected and choose a backup job from the list (see image bellow).
6. In the Execute section, you can select to execute the backup job using the Main application or the Command line one.
7. If your Windows user account has a password make sure that you enter it by pressing the Set Password button in the Scheduler section. We do not save your password but it is needed in order to set up the scheduled task in the Windows Task Scheduler.
If your user account does not have a password you must select the Allow blank passwords when scheduling option from the Preferences page in the Tools->Options window.
8. Press OK.
After defining the scheduled backup you must set its run time by pressing the Schedule button. If you skip this step the default Windows value will be used (usually is Daily at 9:00 am). Use the Windows Help in order to find out more information about scheduling a task using the Task Scheduler.
9. In the new open window, select the start time and the execution frequency. (see image bellow)
10. Press OK.
Backup4all uses by default the Windows Task Scheduler in order to run the scheduled backups so you need to make sure that the Task Scheduler service is enabled on your computer. Use the Windows Help in order to find out more information about scheduling a task using the Task Scheduler. If you don't want to use the Windows Task Scheduler, you can use Backup4all's standalone scheduler by selecting Use Standalone Scheduler.
