Automated 'set it and forget it' backups with SyncBackSE

Configuring Windows

You can follow Microsoft's own instructions here, or our instructions below:

There are three simple steps to follow:

Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click the Power Options icon:

Now Click the Hibernate tab (if the Hibernate tab is unavailable, your computer does not support this feature.), tick the Enable hibernation checkbox, and then click the Apply button:

If there is an APM tab then click the APM tab. Click Enable Advanced Power Management support, and then click Apply.

Note that the APM tab is unavailable on ACPI–compliant computers. ACPI automatically enables Advanced Power Management, which disables the APM tab, so there's no need to do this.

Click the Advanced tab and select Hibernate from the drop-down list for When I press the power button on my computer: This means when you switch off your computer by pressing the power switch on the computer it will hibernate instead of switching off. If you switch off instead of hibernating then the computer cannot be automatically switched on to perform the backup at the scheduled time.

You may also want to configure your computer to automatically hibernate after it has been idle for a certain amount of time. This is a good idea because it saves you money on your electricity bill. Click the Power Schemes tab, and then select a time period in System hibernates. Your computer hibernates after it has been idle for the specified amount of time:

Click the OK button. We've now configured your computer to hibernate instead of switching off.

We'll now create a 'Profile' using SyncBackSE.
