I cannot save my settings for doing a backup

Thread needs solution

I set the parameters I want to use for a full disk backup and click the box that says Save as Default but the next time I go to do a backup it has reverted to a Scheduled backup (which I don't want) and the items I have selected are not the default. How can I fix this?

I don't have a solution although I do seem to have the same problem. Being a new user of this software I first thought that it was me or that I was doing something wrong. However, it's almost gratifying to see that there seems to be something wrong with the program.

As one who faces the same predicament, I'll keep an eye out for possible solutions.

Perhaps there is some confusion or mis-understanding as to the purpose of these default settings.

The backup task is created once with all the settings (scheduled or non-scheduled) you want and then saved under the "Backup later" option.
After task is completed and saved any and all future non-scheduled backups are initiated by opening the program, placing mouse pointer inside the specific backup task and clicking the "Backup now" option which is located inside task-extreme right margin. Therefore, a repetitive task requires NO repeat of the one time setting the options.

Should you want to backup different areas or to a different target,
then one of the ways to utilize prior settings would be to use the "edit settings/clone settings" option which would create a new duplicate backup task. Then, edit the duplicate and make changes as to its name, storage folder, backup name--or whatever changes that are needed for the new task.

Another method of utilizing repetitive settings would be to use a prior saved custome backup scheme; or create a new custom backup scheme and save it for future use. This would allow for the same settings to be used multiple times without any additional backup scheme creations.
