User is idle

"User is idle" means that a screen saver is running on the machine or the machine is locked.

Example

Run the backup on the machine every day at 21:00, preferably when the user is idle. If the user is still active by 23:00, run the backup anyway.

  • Schedule: Daily, Run every day. Start at: 21:00.
  • Condition: User is idle.
  • Backup start conditions: Wait until the conditions are met, Start the backup anyway after 2 hour(s).

As a result,

(1) If the user becomes idle before 21:00, the backup will start at 21:00.

(2) If the user becomes idle between 21:00 and 23:00, the backup will start immediately after the user becomes idle.

(3) If the user is still active at 23:00, the backup will start at 23:00.
