I very much like this tool. I think it's great and I use the backup scheduling daily. I do have a question (note: I'm not a computer expert so I may not be expressing this correctly). I do a daily backup of my profile with "Just files modified after last backup." It appears that, since the backup frequency is 1 day, the program requires at least 24 hours before it will do the next backup. Also, the backup only occurs upon program closure after that 24 hours (it says: "On the basis of the settings, it's necessary now to make the backup. During this operation, the program will be unresponsive for some minutes.")

Since the backup will only be done upon closure, and I close the program at various times during the day, it appears that the 24 hour backup clock gets reset to a new time depending on when during the day I do the trigger closure. Am I right about that?

If that is so, here's my request. Is there a way to set TB to do a backup closure at the same time every day? Am I missing some function for doing that in the ImportExportTools?

Alternatively, is there a simple way to do a task schedule for this in Windows Task Scheduler?

Again, I really like the tool. I hope I can get some help with this. Thanks.
