Run As Service or Before Login

Post by akjohnston »

Hi,

I currently have a profile which runs daily to upload files to an AWS S3 bucket. It works fine, but requires my Windows 10 machine to be logged in. This causes a problem if we are away from our office and there's a power outage or similar, as the PC will reboot but won't be logged in.

Is there any way to set SyncBackPro, or specifically this profile, so that it will run when Windows is booted up even if we have not logged in?

Thanks
Andrew

You can set SyncBackPro to run after a reboot without logging in by creating a task in Windows Task Scheduler. Set the task to run your SyncBackPro profile at startup using the `-run profile name` argument, and select "Run whether user is logged on or not" for automatic execution.
