Problem: I have a laptop that I work in classes, I want it to upload/synchronize the content of "Documents" every night into my NAS, which is mapped as network drive. Does anyone have any idea how to tackle the problem? The target folder may be read only for other computers on the network. TYIA [bonus points for using win10 built in tools only]
Next, launch the command by opening Run (Windows Key + R) and typing "taskschd.msc", then pressing Enter. In Task Scheduler, locate the panel on the right and click "Create Task." Set up the basic settings: General Name, description, user login status, and ensure you have sufficient permissions. Define triggers based on your needs—such as scheduling, system events, or specific conditions. You may also set actions like starting a program or configuring conditions (e.g., idle time, power source).
Optional steps include enabling task execution only when idle, ensuring the computer is powered on, and adjusting sleep settings to avoid interruptions. Configure start times if desired, but timing is flexible. This process completes the backup setup. Let me know if you need further clarification.
