Scheduling a Backup

A Backup copies folders from your PC to the SmartStor.

Caution

The SmartStor and SmartSYNC cannot restore a failed boot drive in your PC. However, you can use the SmartStor to save your system backup file. See your Windows documentation for information about system backups.

Note

• Windows does not allow SmartSYNC to access protected folders and files. If you want to perform a backup, you must first disable protection on your folders and files.

If you want to run the Windows Backup or Restore Wizard, access the SmartStor as a network drive. See “Setting up a Network Drive on a Windows PC” on page 21.

To schedule the backup of a selected folder:

1.Open the SmartSYNC window.

2.Click the Schedule tab.

3.Click the Create button.

4.In the Backup Schedule window, verify the Destination.

Destinations are identified by drive letters and correspond to a specific folder on the SmartStor.

5.In the folder list, click the + icons to expand the tree.

The Folder List is a representation of the file structure on your PC.

6.Click the folder you want to backup.

A checkmark appears beside the selected folder. The backup will include the folder you select and all subfolders.

7.Click the Next >> button.

8.Choose a Schedule interval by number of hours, daily, or weekly.
