If you have definied a time schedule, 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 backup 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 Internet.
- §
- 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 backup has been successfully completed, a corresponding message appears in the system tray. If you set notifications in the Expert Options area, you will be sent an e-mail (if a network or Internet connection exists).
