Each profile can have a single schedule, or can be set to manual execution. Profiles can also be set to run when CopyTools is started, or when the system is shut down.
Set the How often do you want to run this profile field to the requested interval. Some intervals also have additional fields to configure, such as a time, or an interval.
| Manual | The profile is not scheduled for automatic execution. Note that if the Run at Start Up or Run at Shut Down options are set, the profile will run on these events. |
| Every Few Minutes | The profile runs at a predefined interval in minutes and is automatically rescheduled. |
| Every Few Hours | The profile runs at a predefined interval in hours and is automatically rescheduled. |
| Daily | The profile runs once a day at the specified time and automatically rescheduled. |
| Every Few Days | The profile runs once a day at the specified time and is automatically rescheduled for the specified number of days after the previous schedule. |
Currently shut down profiles do not operate as expected under Windows 8 - the profiles will execute correctly, but the system shutdown will automatically abort.
Sometimes you may wish a profile to run daily, except on the weekend. To do this, simply check or uncheck the relevant day options. Any checked day will cause the profile not to run on that day.
You can configure a profile so that is not enabled before a given date by setting the Do not run before field.
