Automated
'set it and forget it' backups
with SyncBackSE |
Step 3 - Scheduling
the Backup
If you're evaluating
SyncBackSE or SyncBackPro (i.e. you haven't
purchased it yet) then this step may
not work for you. The evaluation version
will prompt you whenever
a profile is run (unless you've asked
it to remind you 7 days before the trial
is over), even if it is run from a schedule.
This
means
you
will
need
to click the Evaluate button
on the nag screen for the profile to
run even if
a schedule is defined.
If you have not purchased
a license for SyncBackSE or SyncBackPro
and you're happy with the many features
it
has to
offer, you can
Buy
SyncBackSE or SyncBackPro now.
SyncBackSE Licensed Users
If you have purchased SyncBackSE
then you are ready to go. Follow the
simple steps on this page.
In the
main window of SyncBackSE 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 will make a backup of your
files.
