In the Settings tab, select the option to be able to run the task on demand as well as the option to run the task as soon as possible after a missed schedule. Apply your changes and you are all set. Previous Versions vs. Backups As you can see the previous versions function is quite powerful. However, to be clear, this is not a replacement for regular system backups as it will not protect against drive failure. That said, previous versions offer several conveniences and functions that backups and file syncing services may not: Ability to view or restore deleted/overwritten files with just a few clicks (in the event your backup drive is not available). Ability to pick from several snapshots of the same file as they were captured at different points in time. Historical snapshots can be created at regular, frequent intervals to provide in-day protection against accidental "oops". No uploading or downloading required.
