You can schedule a backup either from the Backup Properties window or from the Schedulers window.
Open the Backup Properties window by pressing the Properties button (
) from the application's toolbar and go to Scheduler page, or open the Schedulers overview window by pressing the Scheduler button (
).
The difference between the two methods is that the first displays the scheduled tasks only for the selected backup job, while the second will show you the scheduled tasks for all the backup jobs and groups.
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.
In order to add a new scheduled backup press the Add button and select the needed configuration in the newly opened window.
If your user account has a password make sure that you enter it by pressing the Set Password button. 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.
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.
