Step 3. Configure a backup schedule

In the Configure schedule step of the Wizard, you can specify the following settings:

• Specify the name of the backup task.
• Select the Run backup manually option if you wish to start the task manually.
• Specify the backup task schedule if you want the backup task to start automatically.
  • Select the Run backup automatically option and set a time interval to run the task (for example, Weekly), weekday, and the task run time.
  • Specify the username and password of your Windows account on this computer. The data of your Windows account is required to access files during the backup. If you are logged in to the operating system under a domain account, specify the username and password of your domain account to create the backup task.
  • Select the Run scheduled backup at computer startup if it was turned off at the specified time check box if you want to run a backup as soon as possible after the computer is turned on. For example, if the backup is scheduled to be performed every weekend and the computer was turned off, the backup is performed after the computer is turned on a weekday. If the check box is cleared, backup is performed according to schedule without retrying to run backup after a failed attempt.
  • Select the Run backup on connecting the removable drive check box if you want to run a backup when a removable drive is connected to your computer.

When working with backup tasks, please note the following:

• If you create a scheduled backup task, you need to specify the data of your account on this computer.
• If you create an on-demand backup task, you do not need to specify the data of your account on this computer.
• If you change an on-demand task to a scheduled task, you need to specify the data of your account on this computer.
