Scheduled backups not running

I can do a manual backup but my scheduled backups are not running. I read that virus software can prevent backups from running unless the folder/file is included in the virus exception list. TrendMicro is my virus software. Does anyone else have a fix?

Hi @karenhank,

Please refer Acronis back to back up data incremental form:

So if I install Acronis, my WD automatic scheduled backups will start running as expected?

What does Acronis do that WD does not do?

thank you.

Hello,

In Acronis back up you can click the options button to see additional backup settings: Schedule, Backup scheme, Notifications, and Advanced. All Options tabs settings can be saved as a custom setting or can be reverted to Initial settings which are the application default settings on each respective tab. Simply click the Initial settings button, as necessary.
