The Back Up Files project uses a scheduler that is part of the Windows operating system. A system administrator has the ability to prevent a computer user from using the scheduler or running scheduled projects. If the Back Up Files scheduler does not work as expected, consult your system administrator.

You can use your Windows scheduling software to customize when your saved projects run. You can schedule a project to run twice a week or once every hour. Save your project, then edit the schedule using the Windows Scheduler.

To run Windows Scheduler in Windows XP, click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Scheduled Tasks.

To run Windows Scheduler in Windows Vista, click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Task Scheduler.

Note: See Windows Help and Support for information on using the Windows Scheduler. Remember that scheduling changes made directly in the Windows Scheduler are not displayed in the Back Up Files project window.

Backup tips

All of the discs used in a Back Up Files project must be the same general format.

In a multi-disc Back Up Files project, files are assigned based on the size of the first disc you use. If your first disc has a capacity of 650 MB, for example, no more than

650 MB will be burned on any subsequent disc, even if it has a larger capacity. This also means that no disc in a project can have a smaller capacity than the first disc used in a project.

Discs used in a Back Up Files project are closed once they are recorded. If you use write-once discs, you will not be able to add additional data.
