Program startup

 

The program can make backups only when it is running. It can run in the normal mode, system tray, or as hidden Windows Service, but it has to run. Now - at the time your computer is turned off, the program can not continue the work and make backups. Thus, some of the scheduled backups might be skipped. By default, the program will automatically make backups from missed scheduled tasks, but if you do not want this, you can disable this feature by checking the option "Do not make missed backups on program startup".

 

To start the program automatically together with Windows startup, check the option "Start the program on Windows startup".

 

If the option "Start on system tray" is checked, the program will go directly to the system tray mode when started.

 

By checking "Show splash screen" option you can watch a startup screen while the program is loading.

 

Closing the program

 

"Minimize the program to system tray" option prevents the program from closing when it's checked. Instead of closing, the program is switched to system tray mode. It is good in case you want to keep the program running but are afraid you can still close it. This option is only ignored on Windows shutdown and in case you use Exit command in the File menu.

 

When you have backups scheduled and you close the program, it will ask if you really want to close the program, as during the time closed, it is unable to make scheduled backups. To disable this question from appearing each time, check the option "On closing don't notify about scheduled backups that might be missed when the program is closed".

 

Other...

 

With "When minimizing the program, minimize to system tray" option checked, the program will go to system tray working mode when minimized.
