Langmeier Backup

Automated Backups

In Menu Tools->Automated Backup ... there is a Dialog for the management of automated backups. If you haven’t defined any automated backup tasks until now, a window will appear where you can define a new automated backup task:

In the field "Schedule", you can define a time when the backup should take place. In the upper area, you have to add a name to your automated backup task. Alternatively, you can choose an existing task by clicking on the 3 point button. By default the actual task is already set.

Automated Backups are all differential and affect the whole Task

Please note: Automated backups are always differential backups. In other words: Only one file's version, the most resent, will be saved. The entire task will be executed with all defined paths. The settings in the main window will be disregarded.

As soon as you click on Save, the task will appear in the list of scheduled backups:

Please note: Automated backups will only be executed after a restart of the application.

Right away there is a possibility to set more options:
If you check the option "Keep me informed about conducted automatic backups", the following window will appear every time the backup task has been executed.

Note: There is another checkbox "Show these windows only in case of warnings". This will switch off the message in case of a fully successful backup.

The Symbol on Windows® Task Tray

As soon as at least one automated backup is defined a Symbol of Langmeier Backup will show up in the Windows® task tray. If you double click on the symbol the application will open. Note: The icon will not appear if the execution of the automated backup is right after the definition.
