How to turn off "Scheduling" in v2015
Where is the "shut-off" option for Scheduling in v2015?
(I have tried Operations>Edit Settings> Options>Do Not Schedule and then clicking on OK. The next time I open the Backup, it is changed back to "Daily." I have even gone to the next page -- "Backup Scheme" -- and clicked on the "Save" button but still no joy.)
Part I: Create a 2015 Non-scheduled task.
There is no permanent shutoff switch in either 2014 or 2015 versions but the user does have controls to save each task as "non-scheduled."
If you want the task to be non-scheduled, you have to save each task using the "do not schedule" option.
It is also possible to edit a scheduled task and change it to non-scheduled, but it is much better to save the task as "non-scheduled" during the original creation.
Upon completion of the task creation, DO NOT click on the Save/"Backup Now" option. Instead, click on the adjacent arrow and choose the "Backup later" option.
Part II: To change an existing 2015 task from scheduled to non-scheduled via the edit option.-
1. From main Backups window, select/click the scheduled task needing changing to non-scheduled.
2. Click OPERATIONS BUTTON in lower left corner.
3. Click EDIT settings option.
4. Click OPTIONS button lower left.
5. Click the "DO NOT SCHEDULE" OPTION.
6. Click ADVANCED SETTING GEAR WHEEL.
...........Scroll down the listing just to determine whether any of the advanced settings needs changing.
...........Many prefer that the bottom most "if missed" option be unchecked.
7. To save the "do not schedule' changes, click the OK button (lower right).
8. To save the task changes, click the SAVE button (lower right).
===================================================
If you followed the preceding edit instructions above, the selected task has been changed from "scheduled" to a "non-scheduled" task
and need to be run manually in order for backups to occur.
HOWEVER, due to a bug in 2015, the change to "non-scheduled" will not appear on the screen.
The display screen will still show the task as "scheduled even though it is actually now a "non-scheduled" task.
To get the display screen to show the task as its correct "non-scheduled" status,
a system reboot is needed after the edit is completed.
I have the same problem so I'll try that. What I really want is to kill all of the background processes that slow down my computer. I run a manual full backup monthly to an external USB hard drive (I have several drives that I rotate) and I don't want or need incremental or differential backups in between. I just want the manual full backup and the utility portions of True Image and I don't want any of it running when I'm not driving it. Is this possible? If so, how do set it up that way? Or does the above procedure do what I want?
William,
If you rotate backup storage disks, you need a differerent task to match each disk.
Your best option is to use the user created TI Recovery CD and perform the backup when booted from the CD.
This gives you complete control and you do not need to have TrueImage installed at all.
