ImportExportTools NG
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
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.

The extension seems very useful but I have a problem. First, I'm not super computer savvy but I understand the basic layout of the add-on. What I'd like to do is backup my entire profile (multiple folders) every day to an external flash drive so that I have ONLY a SINGLE current (that day's) complete profile on the backup drive- not layered versions from previous days. That day's backup automatically completely replaces the previous day's backup. I believe this is called 'mirroring.' So after that day's backup I have everything from only that day and absolutely nothing else, with the backup (mirroring?) done automatically every day. This may be doable with the add-on but it is not clear to me exactly what buttons I have to set to accomplish that. Any help would be appreciated. Please feel free to reach out to me to help me with this. Thank you - ChrisVan
