v24?
Do you run Cloud Backup &or Local Backup?

N360 v24 Cloud Backup runs automatic 24 hour cycle.
do you see Sync?
try Sync button to invoke backup
for example:

Get started using Norton v24 Cloud Backup [here]
Please review pics: start [here]

Thanks that worked

Does sync 24 hr mean it backups up only after 24 hours? All files or only if a file has changed?

Sync backs up changes
Sync does not mirror

[ter_bord]

After one sets up a new backup profile, is the first backup 24 hours later?

Is the directly created N360_NORTONBACKUP?

And after the backup starts, are file changes only updated at the end of a 24 hr period? In other words, if you make multiple changes to a file, the only one saved is the last one after 24 hours?

Understand that only files that are change get backed up.

Thank you

afaik ~ Norton has not shared minutia and I’ve not scrutinized minutia.

N360_BACKUP created with Local Backup

Automatically sync (as per Norton) backs up files every 24 hours. Norton has not shared whether 24 hour cycle is machine up time or 24 hour clock time.
User may manually run sync, as needed.

I imagine at the automatic sync time…whatever changes are at that time
