SyncBackFree is the freeware version of SyncBack. It is *not* an evaluation version of SyncBackPro/SE.

double running the task

Post by Libor357 »

Hi, I have a problem with using syncbackfree for nightly PC backups. When we turn on the PC through Power on By RTC Alarm and 5 minutes later, a backup starts with the command to turn off the PC after completion. This part of the deposit will be processed correctly. But there was a problem that in the morning when I start the PC, after about 7-10 minutes syncback starts the same task again and turns off my PC. Has anyone encountered this problem after Windows updates since 10/23/2023? I can't figure out what causes the task to start again after about 7 minutes when I log in to the system.

Suggest you untick the box "Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed" in Windows Task Scheduler under Settings for your task.
