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.
