Scheduler tips
The following tips will help you to better understand the scheduler:
•Scheduled projects must be saved before they can be run.
•Keep the following limitations in mind if you want a scheduled project to be completed successfully while you are away from your computer:
•Back Up Files will not overwrite files without your permission. This usually involves clicking on a series of message boxes. To perform an unattended archive project, you may need to change the hard drive destination for your archived files or archive your files to a disc.
•If you are archiving files onto a disc, a blank disc must be inserted in your drive when the project starts, and the project must fit on one disc.
•Some of the energy conservation settings available for your computer may keep a scheduled project from starting even if the project launcher is open.
•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.
