\"\"<\/a>Okay, let’s say you don’t want to have to remember to manually back up your files and you want SyncBack to do that automatically for you.\u00a0 Well, you can do that.\u00a0 If you already set up your profile and saved it before setting up a schedule \u2026 all you need to do is highlight the profile you want to change, and click the MODIFY button at the bottom of the application window. When the “profile setup” window appears, click on the WHEN tab along the left side of the window.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

With the WHEN<\/b> tab open click on the EDIT SCHEDULE<\/b> button on the open tab (it’s just above the Apply and Open buttons). A window will appear indicating that you haven’t yet created a “schedule” and ask you if you want to create one..\u00a0 Click YES<\/b>.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
If you have no Windows login password (which is unlikely) then you must click Yes., otherwise click NO<\/b>. You are then prompted for your password.\u00a0 NOTE:\u00a0 if you’re using Windows10 you must enter your password to be able to get the Windows Task Scheduler to execute your task.<\/i>\u00a0 Once you’ve entered your password, click B.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The Scheduler Window will now appear.\u00a0 Let’s say I’m in the middle of setting up a number of tutorials for a crochet project I’m working on, so I want to make sure not to lose any of my work and I want SyncBack to back up videos daily, overnight as I sleep.\u00a0 Enter the date SyncBack needs to start daily backups and the time of day to start each backup.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
From the tabs at the top of the window, you can click on Daily, Weekly or Monthly for automatically running your task. You can also set the Recurrence day to\u00a0X number of days. On the “monthly tab, you can also specify on “which weeks” during the month you want it to run as well as which days of the week.\u00a0 For the purpose of this demonstration, I’ve specified that I want it to run daily, starting on 5\/1\/2020 at 1 AM each morning.\u00a0 Click OK<\/b> to continue.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Once you click OK, a confirmation window will come up asking you whether you want to start a “simulated run.”\u00a0 Click YES to do so, or NO to be taken to the main SyncBack application window. There, you will see the updated profile reflecting when it will next automatically run.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
