Topic: Execution interval

BackUp Maker offers a number of automation options which allow you to backup your data at certain intervals that you can specify yourself. The following options are available.


Option: Execute backup in defined time interval:

In order to backup your data regularly at a specific interval (minutes or hours), enable the Execute every mm minutes checkbox, where "mm" is the place holder for the number of minutes. The box containing the default value "10" indicates the number of minutes between backups. The range is between 5 and 300.

Option: Execute backup at defined time

If you wish to backup your data at a fixed time, enable the "Execute at hh:mm o'clock", where hh:mm is the place holder for a specific time in the format hh:mm. To change the default time, overtype the default value "18:00". Please note that BackUp Maker recognizes the 24-hour format only.

Note: Combining the automation options "interval" and "time"

You may combine both of the above options by enabling both checkboxes. In this case, the backup takes place at whichever time is the earlier of the two. The following example will illustrate this.

Example: It is 8 a.m. (08:00). The interval option was set to "60 minutes", the time option to "08:30". This means that a first backup will take place at 08:30, with subsequent backups at 60 minute intervals.


Option: Execute on system event

BackUp Maker enables you to start backup jobs automatically when Windows will be started/logged off. Activate the checkboxes "Windows start" and/or "Windows logoff" for using this functionality.

Note: Backup cannot be executed if autostart shortcut has been deleted.


Option: Restrict to ...

Enable the Week days option if you wish to make backups on particular days of every week. To perform a backup on certain days of the month only, enable the "Month days" option.

Option: Week days

By enabling the checkboxes of specific days of the week you can restrict backups to those days. No backups will then take place on any other day(s).

Note: If no day of the week has been enabled, no automatic backup of your data will take place.

Option: Month days

Enable the checkbox of those days of the month when you want an automatic backup to be executed.

Note: If no day of the month has been enabled, there is no automatic backup of your data.
