Enhanced scheduling options have been added
to the client software to help automate the backup process, ensuring
that the user data is backed up on a regular basis without requiring
user intervention. The new scheduling capabilities allow
users to configure backups at any time, multiple times per day or
even before Windows Shut Down. Additionally, any third party scheduling
application can be used to run the backup application by scheduling
simple command line calls to run an automated backup.
The Event Manager is provided to alert users of any missed or failed
backups. If a scheduled backup is missed, the next time the computer
is started the Event Manager will display the missed event and allow
the user to immediately perform the missed event. This is useful
for laptop users that may not be connected to the network during
a regularly scheduled backup. If a backup fails to start or complete
successfully, the Event Manager will try the backup again when the
computer is restarted or when First Backup is executed. If a backup
fails due to a network problem, the Event Manager will prompt the
user to complete the backup at a later date.
