Starting Tasks Automatically

## Starting a Task by a Schedule

The program can start a backup, cloning or synchronization process automatically with a certain period of time. You can set up each project's schedule individually in the project Properties dialog.

In order to scheduled tasks be performed automatically, you should activate the schedule agent in the Preferences dialog. As soon as you activate the schedule of any project, the program will remind you to activate the schedule agent. When the time to start a scheduled project comes, the agent opens the program.

When you are setting up the schedule, take into account that it is better to choose time when you computer is less loaded by the user or other autonomously running software.

Notice that the program can also run a task when you mount the destination or source volume. This takes place in the case a scheduled task couldn't be performed because the source or destination or both volumes were unavailable. Once both locations are reachable, the program will start tasks without waiting for the following scheduled time.
