Scheduling a Backup - Jobs

Nero BackItUp

Check box

Monday, Tuesday,

Wednesday,

Thursday, Friday,

Saturday, Sunday

Defines the day or days in which the backup is made every week,

e.g. you can let the job run on weekdays.

These check boxes will be activated if the job type Weekly is se-

lected.

Input field

When the com-

puter has been

idle for

Defines how many minutes the computer must be idle before the

scheduled backup is started.

This input field is activated if the job type When Idle is selected.

Check box

Run only if user

logged on

Starts the backup only if the user who set up the job is logged onto

the system.

If this check box is cleared, the backup is not made if the user is not

logged on. In this case, Nero BackItUp asks for your user informa-

tion when setting up the job.

7.2 Executing jobs

If you have set up a job, the backup process will be carried out automatically at the defined

time. The system time is used for this purpose.

The computer must be switched on and an operating system must be running for this to

happen. Nero BackItUp does not have to be running in order to carry out the scheduled

backup, since it can work in the background.

Depending on which setting you have selected, the job can either be executed without the

user being logged on or a user must be logged on.

In order for the backup to be carried out as scheduled, provide the chosen target media:



If the backup is to be burned to disc, ensure that an appropriate blank disc is inserted in

the burner.



If you are backing up to an FTP server, ensure that the computer is connected to the In-

ternet.



If you are backing up to a removable medium or to an external hard drive, ensure that the

appropriate device is connected or installed.

After the job has been successfully completed, a dialog box with the message "Backup job

finished successfully" appears. If you set e-mail notifications in the options, you will be sent

an e-mail (if a network or Internet connection exists).
