Will a scheduled snapshot run as soon as the computer is back on?

Depends on which schedule you choose:

- the schedule 'Repeatedly (anacron)' will use an anacron-like code. So if your computer is back on it will start the job if the given time is gone till last snapshot.

- with 'When drive get connected (udev)' BackInTime will start a snapshot as soon as you connect your drive ;-)

- old fashion schedules like 'Every Day' will use cron. This will only start a new snapshot at the given time. If your computer is off, no snapshot will be created.
