Laptop power settings

Location: Settings > Battery power saving

This setting is only available on computers with batteries (laptops, computers with UPS).

When you work on your laptop and there is no power supply around you or when your computer has switched to UPS after a blackout, it's reasonable to save the battery charge. Long-term backups may consume the battery power quite fast, for example when you back up significant amount of data to the cloud.

To save the battery charge:

When this setting is turned on and you unplug your laptop power adapter or use UPS for your computer after a blackout, all current backups are paused and scheduled backups will not start. Once you plug the power adapter back in or the power supply is restored, the suspended backups will be resumed. The scheduled backups that have been missed because of this setting will be started as well.

This setting does not block backup functionality completely. You can always start a backup manually.

Local mobile backups do not depend on this setting. Your mobile data is backed up to local storage on your computer as usual.
