BackUp Maker - Help system

Occasionally, it may be impossible to perform a backup at the scheduled time. In such cases, BackUp Maker provides an option for "catching up" - the so-called Execution warranty. For more details, please read below.

Option: Always catch up

Enable this option if you want BackUp Maker to automatically perform any backups that were missed out when it is next started up. No intervention or confirmation is expected from you - these backups are initiated automatically.

Option: Never catch up

If you do not wish to catch up with any "missed" backups, enable this option. This means that backups will be performed at the next possible scheduled time, as usual.

Option: Ask user

Enable the Ask user checkbox if you want BackUp Maker to tell you about any missed out backups at startup, so that you can decide on the action to take. You can then choose whether or not to perform the missed out backup at this stage.

Note: When you choose to perform automatic backups at certain time intervals, the Execution warranty has no effect.

The Execution warranty was specifically built into BackUp Maker in order to catch up with backups that were scheduled for a specific time but were missed out because the computer was switched off, for example. This is why the feature has no effect for backups that are scheduled to take place at certain intervals.
