How do I enable or disable Idle Time Backup?

Ever minute the Spare Backup program will check to see if your computer is idle, if so, it then checks to see if a backup has been run in the last hour.  If no backups have been performed in the past hour, it will scan and select files that have changed since the last backup and then performs a backup of these selected files, ensuring that the most recent data from your computer is always being backed up to our secure servers.  If it has backed up in the last hour a backup will not start and the program will check again in 1 minute. By default this feature is enabled.   

 

To enable or disable Idle Time Backup, perform the following:

  1. Click the SETTINGS button.

  2. Click Online Backup Schedule.

  3. Select or clear the Run When Idle check box.
