Run missed Backup when external HDD is connected

Thread needs solution

Hey Folks,

I'm new to this community cause I've a problem with missed backups and hope you can help me :)

There's an incremental file backup configured which starts every day at 23:59 h (11:59 PM) to save my files to an external USB 3.0 HDD Drive. In the task scheduler I've configured all settings regarding missed backups (run at bootup with a delay of 2 min / run if device is connected). Pls also see the screenshot attached for this.

Cause I always disconnect my external HDD if I don't use it to prevent electrical overloads the backup normally should start at the next morning after I started my PC and connected the HDD some time later, right? :)

But exactly this is my big problem: The Backup doesn't start the whole day :/

Do you have any idea why this happens and how I could try to fix it?
Many thanks in advance and many greetings from Germany :)

Joshua

Joshua,

In order for the scheduled backup to run at start up you would need to have your external USB disk attached to the machine prior to starting the machine. In this way the disk is detected on start so that TI will recognize the disk is connected and run the task. If you attached the disk after start then, TI will have already determined that the disk is not attached and will postpone the task until the next start up with disk attached.

Bei mir muss die externe Festplatte nicht unbedingt beim Systemstart angeschlossen sein. Sobald Windows die Festplatte erkennt (das Geräusch ertönt), startet bei mir der Backuptask.

Würde der geplante Backuptask zur geplanten Zeit starten (23:59 Uhr)?

Ist der Laufwerksbuchstaben der Festplatte immer gleich? (oder werden Festplatten gewechselt? Wäre nicht gut)

Ist "Automatische Wiedergabe" für das externe Laufwerk aktiviert? (bei mir ist Automatische Wiedergabe aktiviert)
