i am trying to compile a work in Texmaker, but when doing so, the console returns:

Package biblatex Warning: No "backend" specified, using Biber backend.
(biblatex) To use BibTeX, load biblatex with
(biblatex) the "backend=bibtex" option.

I really do not know what does it means.

My preamble is the next:

\documentclass[12pt,twoside]{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} 
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\addbibresource{bibtex.bib}

    As you can see from the log it is a warning, not an error. If you are fine with using biber, just leave everything as is and ignore the warning (or explicitly use \usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}). If for some reason you need bibtex, then use \usepackage[backend=bibtex]{biblatex} (not recommended). – Henri Menke May 29 '17 at 02:09
  • You can read up on the differences between Biber and BibTeX in bibtex vs. biber and biblatex vs. natbib. Nowadays you will want to use the Biber backend; BibTeX is only supported as legacy backend and does not support the full set of features. If your document compiles fine otherwise, you can simply write \usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex} to suppress the warning and make explicit that you use Biber. In case you have problems with Biber see Biblatex with Biber: Configuring my editor. – moewe May 29 '17 at 06:51
  • @moewe Yes, it was solved. Thank both of you –  May 29 '17 at 07:33
