How do i turn off Schedule backup
Every time I start to make a backup I have to turn off the schedule backup, as I never run a schedule backup this in annoying me now, so please is there anyway I can disable this please.
Hi Michael
1. Go to the "Schedule" option and select none, or something like that.
2. When creating a new backup try making your setting the default option and include "None" schedule as part of that default so every new backup is created with this schedule.No guarantees this will work, I'm just exploring the upgrade and having my own issues.
Thanks for the reply I would thing that would work but i was hoping that there was a way just to turn it off.
To create an oroginal non-scheduled task, when creating each original task, In lower right corner, change the scheduled time to "Do not Schedule" and then save the task as "BackUp LATER"
The above shows how to create a non-scheduled task so the original task is created as "non-scheduled".

The "secret" to creating a non-scheduled task is to replicate the instructions shown above.

I would agree that the 2014 of scheduler enabled is not the preference of many of us as we are used to having the setting to be "not enabled".However, all we are talking about is a setting which can be changed during the creation of any new backup task.
If you want to create a task with the setting to be "do not schedule", that "not scheduled options" setting will remain with that specific task and when you want to create backups using that task, you will need to do so manually via the "Backup now" option found on the extreme upper right corner of that specific task. For all future task creation, the scheduler will revert back to its default of a weeky setting but that change of setting has no bearing on how the prior created tasks performs and any future tasks can still be changed to "do not schedule" so the actual task is not forced to be a scheduled task.I agree that the enabled setting is a nuisance but it is nothing more than a nuisance. The default setting of enabled can be overruled for any specific task. If a specific task is set to "do not schedule", the schedule will not run for that task. I too hope they will change the setting for future releases but the fact that the setting is enabled as the default does not control the final setting for that task as the user can overrule that setting for that specific task.
Their selection of enabled causes each of us a little more work but we can undo the enabled on each task we create so their change does not force us to use scheduled tasks if we do not want the task to be scheduled. I believe this is just Acronis attempting to "nudge" us into making more or more frequent backups.

Thanks Grover
Next time I do a backup I will try that, but for me a simple job is made more difficult
