Using SyncBackPro > Technical Reference

SyncBackPro monitors the power state of the computer and will pause (or resume) profiles based on that state:

Display

You can have profiles run automatically when the displayed is powered off.

Battery Saver

If the battery saver is enabled in Windows then SyncBackPro will automatically pause all running profiles and stop new background profiles from starting, e.g. profiles set to run periodically. For scheduled tasks you need to configure the task to only run when on AC power, for example.

When the battery saver is disabled, the profiles that were paused are automatically resumed and background profiles can now be started.

UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)

If the power switches to UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) then SyncBackPro will automatically pause all running profiles and stop new background profiles from starting. This is the same as if battery saver mode was enabled.

When the power switches back to AC/DC power, the profiles that were paused are automatically resumed and background profiles can now be started.

Suspended (Standby, Hibernate)

If the computer is suspended, then SyncBackPro will automatically pause all running profiles and stop new background profiles from starting. This is the same as if battery saver mode was enabled.

Once the computer resumes from suspension the profiles that were paused are automatically resumed and background profiles can now be started.

You can configure SyncBackPro to stop the computer suspending while profiles are running (this is ignored if the computer is not on mains power, e.g. using batteries).

You can also configure SyncBackPro to not automatically pause profiles, and stop new background profiles from starting, when the computer is suspended.
