This is interesting. I did not know auto-backup existed in ExpressAccounts. Thank you for your post; it drove me to look for it and found out how that works.
Try this:
Note: I am using ExpressAccounts ver 4.79 on Windows 7 OS.
- Go to 'Accounts' menu -> 'Back Up Data...
- On 'Back Up Data' window, select 'Back up to a Network Folder' and 'Select Folder' to a desired location on your hard drive.
- On the same window, select 'Enable Scheduler', and 'Save'
I found that it creates the daily backup schedule in Windows Task Scheduler.
If you are familiar with this, you could change rules and times of scheduling directly from the Windows Task Scheduler (plenty of help on this topic can be found on internet).
I think, your computer needs to be ON at the scheduled time, otherwise it won't backup until the next scheduled time.
