Backup Only At the Scheduled Time
Hi there,
How do I prevent my computer from backing up if it was turned off and missed a day.
I set it to backup around 5PM each day, but when I miss a day and I turn it on it starts to backup which slows down my computer quite a bit.
Thanks!

Thanks for getting back to me. That box was always unchecked yet it ran the missed backup anyway. I've attached a pic in case I'm misunderstanding.
Thanks!

Not sure why I'm not able to upload the file. It's smaller than the size requested and is in the format requested. Anyway, as I mentioned above that box has always been unchecked.
Thanks!

Hello!
If you have all those boxes unchecked, and the backup starts to run immediately (outside of the schedule — note that if you turn on the machine around the time of the backup schedule, there's nothing we can do; the backup will always start at the scheduled time) when you power on the computer, please raise a ticket with our support at https://kb.acronis.com/content/8153. That would require an investigation.
Regarding the screenshots, the forum has issues with the attachment of files. Soon there will be a migration to a new platform, and hopefully, everything will be working properly.
Best regards.
