Automatic backup with Back in Time?

I have installed Back In Time Backup Application and configured to backup one important folder every day into another folder.

Question.

  1. Does it perform backup operation only when the application is open(or launched)?

  2. Should I launch this application every time I log in to Ubuntu?

  3. If YES, how can I make it to run automatically every time I log in to Ubuntu?

Thank you beforehand.


According to the documentation at: http://backintime.le-web.org/documentation/ Back In Time uses cron to schedule the backups, so you should not need to be logged in for the backup to take place.
