why doesn't this work?

I run this on two different computers!

I saved the file "Ref.bib" in the same ".tx" file directory 

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}

\usepackage{biblatex}
\addbibresource{Ref.bib}

\begin{document}
Let's cite! The Einstein's journal paper \cite{faul2009statistical} 
\printbibliography

\end{document}

Error messages:

I found no \citation commands---while reading file texstudio_So6416.aux

I found no \bibdata command---while reading file texstudio_So6416.aux


I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file texstudio_So6416.aux

    You have to run the external tool biber instead of BibTeX. Please see https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Bibliographies_with_biblatex_and_biber and https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/154751/biblatex-with-biber-configuring-my-editor-to-avoid-undefined-citations – Johannes_B Nov 17 '17 at 16:12
  • Looks like texstudio compiles a not saved version of your tex file. Try to save it in a directory of your choice prior to compiling. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Nov 17 '17 at 16:13

    This could be a combination of the issues mentioned by Johannes_B and samcarter. You are definitely running the wrong bibliography tool: You need Biber and not BibTeX, Johannes' link tells you how to deal with that. But the file name hints at the issue mentioned by samcarter as well. – moewe Nov 17 '17 at 16:25
  • But shouldn't biblatex work with BibTex? If biblatex has the option backend=biber, it means working with biber is an option, not mandatory, right? – user118967 Nov 19 '17 at 05:46

    @user118967 - The option backend=biber is the default -- it's not mandatory. To use BibTeX as the sorting tool, it's necessary to specify backend=bibtex. – Mico Nov 19 '17 at 07:05
  • Any news here? Did you get things up and running? – moewe Nov 22 '17 at 12:47
