Profile Settings - Schedule/More

Run Upon Login
This checkbox will cause the profile to be run in the background as soon as you log in to MacOS. This is related to the scheduler setting "Auto-Start Background Scheduler" so you must leave that checked too.

Run Upon Logout and Shutdown
With ths checkbox selected, the profile will run when you log out or shut down the computer. This will work as long as at least one Syncovery process is running and you see the icon in the system tray. The background scheduler would be sufficient for this to work. The timer running as a service cannot perform this task however.

Run Missed Daily Jobs Immediately When Scheduler Starts
Jobs might be missed due to the computer being turned off or the scheduler not running. This setting causes missed jobs to be started immediately, when the scheduler is started again, rather than waiting for their next scheduled time.

Add a Random Delay
This option is useful if you want to use irregular intervals, or a different time of day for each profile invocation. One reason for this could be many computers trying to back up their data to the same server, so that you want to have the load spread over a period of time.

Warn If Profile Not Run For X Days
Syncovery can remind you if a profile has not been run for a number of days. This feature is actually independent from the other scheduling settings, and it can be used for profiles that you run only manually also. If a profile has not run for the specified number of days, a dialog will pop up allowing you to run it, or to dismiss the warning.

Additional Times
You can specify additional times of day where the profile should run. However make sure to specify a main schedule first. These times will only be used if the profile has a schedule on the "Schedule" tab sheet.
