Automated
'set it and forget it' backups
with SyncBackSE |
Step 3 - Scheduling
the Backup
SyncBackSE and SyncBackPro allow you to run profiles from a schedule.
Read on about the procedure following the
simple steps detailed on this page.
In the
main window of SyncBackSE/Pro click on
the profile you want to be scheduled
to backup automatically:
Then click the Schedule button in the toolbar at the bottom:
Click the Yes button.
The following dialog will appear:
Please click the "Set
password..." button on the
next screen to enter your login
password.
If you do not enter
your login password then the
scheduled task will fail to run.
Also, by default you cannot use
an empty/blank password.

The dialog
box (above) is a warning to make sure
you enter your
Windows login password on the following
window. What is your Windows login password?
It's the password you enter when you
start Windows. If you don not have a
login password then you can ignore
the warning
and there's no need to enter a password.
Click OK to
continue.
If you have a Windows login
password then click the Set
password…button
and enter it:
By default your profile
will run at 9am every day. If you want
to change this then click the Schedule tab and make the changes required.
Click the OK button.
The Set Password window will open:
Enter your password and
click the OK button.
The window above will now
appear giving you a summary of what the
schedule is. Click the OK button
which is located on the lower right (not
shown in the above screenshot).
Congratulations! Your important files
are now being backed up daily, and without
you even needing to be anywhere near
the computer for it to happen. It will
all be done automatically: every morning
your computer will switch itself on and
SyncBackSE/Pro will make a backup of your
files.
