As you might know, any program is unable to work when it's not running. Also, most programs are unable to work when nobody is logged on to the computer.
In the Professional version (only), you can use the additional utility that can start TK8 Backup as a Windows Service. It means that when the service is started and running, the program is running even when nobody is logged in. When you restart the computer, or log off the user, scheduled backups are still created.
To run the Service Utility, use the TK8 Backup group under the Windows Start button, Programs menu. Before you run this utility, please make sure the TK8 Backup itself is closed. It's impossible to start a service when the program itself is running.
When the utility is started, you can use two simple buttons:
When you click on the first button, TK8 Backup is started in the service mode. To complete this task, the utility will restart your computer.
After the computer is restarted, TK8 Backup is always running in the background. Even when you restart the Windows, and even before any user is logged on to the Windows. The program will make all the scheduled backups silently.
Please note that at the time TK8 Backup service is running, you can't start the program (twice). It will not start. So you can't access the user interface to change program options or task settings.
Please do not terminate TK8 Backup service process manually through Task Manager as in some cases this can corrupt your profile settings.
To access the program again, you have to stop the service mode. For this, run the Service utility again and click on the "Stop ..." button. It will shut down the service mode. After stopped, you can close the utility and run again the program, to make any necessary changes in the options or task settings.
