If I shut down and restart Giga Vault Storage after a period of time, will Giga Vault Storage automatically detect modified files and newly created files and back them up?

It depends on the settings you've selected when creating the backup schedule. Giga Vault Storage will automatically detect all the modified and newly created files and back them up after a restart if:

1. You selected the continuous backup option

2. You selected the ‘run every __ hours __minutes” option. In this case, Giga Vault Storage will run this schedule whenever it restarts, and thereafter schedule the next backup after the period you’ve selected.

3. You’ve selected the “Run this Backup each time Giga Vault Storage restarts” option in Advanced Options
