Although Genie Timeline runs automatically in the background, users can control the backup process by pausing and resuming backup. If a user pauses a backup while Genie Timeline is currently backing up a file, Genie Timeline will continue backing up where it left off.
To Pause the Backup
Method 1:
- Right click the System Tray Agent located by your system clock.
- Click Pause.
Method 2:
- Open Dashboard.
- Click Pause.
To Resume the Backup
Method 1:
- Right click the System Tray Agent located by your system clock.
- Click Resume.
Method 2:
- Open the Dashboard.
- Click Resume.
Notes:
- Once the system reboots while the backup is paused, Genie Timeline will automatically resume backing up to ensure complete system protection.
- Pausing the backup is not recommended as it will reduce the protection level and will not enhance system performance. Genie Timeline backup runs on minimum requirements and automatically adjusts its resource use based on the usage of other programs.
