Scheduling

For your backups to be really helpful, they should be as up-to-date as possible. Schedule your backups to run on a regular basis. By default, your Mac is backed up weekly.

To schedule the backup:

  1. Click Settings, choose backup frequency, and then specify the start time.
  2. After you have configured all settings, click Apply.

If your Mac is switched off or it is in the sleep mode when the scheduled time comes, the backup will run the next time the Mac starts or when it wakes up.
