Scheduled backups for Windows

Profiles turn a backup plan into a routine

A backup profile groups a source folder, destination folder inside the vault, schedule, and retention rule. Profiles can also be manual-only when a recurring schedule is not appropriate.

The Windows agent uses the machine’s local time for the schedule and shows the corresponding UTC times before the profile is saved. That makes the timing explicit without asking the customer to calculate time-zone offsets.

Set up an automatic backup in the Windows app

Create a backup profile for the source folder you want to protect and choose its destination folder in the vault. Give the profile a name that makes the protected data easy to recognize later.

Choose one or more run times in your computer’s local time, a repeat interval, and how many restore points to retain. Check the local and UTC times shown in the app before saving the profile.

Run the profile once, review its result in My Backups, and restore a sample file to a separate folder. That checks both the selected data and the recovery path before you rely on the schedule.

Transient failures are retried automatically

Temporary network and service failures receive a bounded automatic retry sequence. Errors that require a person—such as invalid credentials, a repository-key mismatch, or a full storage plan—stop retrying and are surfaced as needing attention.
