Scheduling your tasks allows to automatically run tasks independent of your presence in front of the computer. This way you can go on vacation, leaving the computer running and Titan Backup will create your usual backups or synchronize your folders.
While the Windows' scheduling agent is quite advanced, it can be difficult to use. Titan Backup makes it easier for you to schedule your tasks from basic (such as running a task on a specified day and time) to very advanced settings.
The scheduler options can be set from the Scheduler tab of each created task; scheduler settings are specific for each task.
Titan Backup Scheduler options are:
One time run - the task will run on the specified date and time. e.g. 01/01/2007 at 10:00 AM.
Windows Startup - the task will run every time after Windows Starts up
Windows Shutdown - the task will run every time before Windows Shuts down.

- the task can run at a certain day of each week and at a specified time of the day - for this option you have to set:
on which days of the week you want the task to run: e.g. every Monday and Thursday
the moment of the day:
on windows startup
on windows shutdown
at a pre chosen hour of the day: e.g. 11:30 AM.

- the task will run every X'th day at a specified time of the day - for this option you have to set:
number of days: e.g. choosing 2 means that the task will run every second day
the moment of the day:
on windows startup
on windows shutdown
at a pre chosen hour of the day: e.g. 11:30 AM.
the working days - the task will run only in the working days you set: e.g. choosing your working days to be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and having the task set to run every 1 day, means that the task will run every day of the week except for Saturdays and Sundays.

An additional option of the Titan Backup scheduler is to reschedule task if missed: this means that if a task did not run because you din not have Titan Backup running at the moment when the task was scheduled, the next time Titan Backup is started the missed tasks will run.
Note: You need to have Titan Backup running in order to run the scheduled tasks. If the application is not running you can avoid missing scheduled tasks by choosing "reschedule backup if missed" option.
