Save battery power
Prevents a backup if the device (a laptop or a tablet) is not connected to a power source. Depending on the value of the Backup start conditions backup option, the skipped backup will or will not be started after the device is connected to a power source. The following options are available:
-
Do not start when on battery
A backup will start only if the device is connected to a power source.
-
Start when on battery if the battery level is higher than
A backup will start if the device is connected to a power source or if the battery level is higher than the specified value.
Example
Data is backed up every workday at 21:00. If the device is not connected to a power source (for instance, the user is attending a late meeting), you want to skip the backup to save the battery power and wait until the user connects the device to a power source.
- Schedule: Daily, Run Monday to Friday. Start at: 21:00.
- Condition: Save battery power, Do not start when on battery.
- Backup start conditions: Wait until the conditions are met.
As a result:
(1) If 21:00 comes and the device is connected to a power source, the backup will start immediately.
(2) If 21:00 comes and the device is running on battery power, the backup will start as soon as the device is connected to a power source.
