Conditions
Conditions add more flexibility to the scheduler, enabling to execute backup tasks with respect to
certain conditions. Once a specified event occurs (see the Scheduling section for the list of available
events), the scheduler checks the specified condition and executes the task if the condition is met.
The scheduler behavior in case the event occurs but the condition (or any of multiple conditions) is
not met, is defined by the
Task start conditions
(p. 102) backup option. There, you can specify how
important the conditions are for the backup strategy:
conditions are obligatory - put the backup task run on hold until all the conditions are met.
conditions are preferable, but a backup task run has higher priority - put the task on hold for the
specified time interval. If the time interval lapses and the conditions are still not met, run the
task anyway. With this setting, the program will automatically handle the situation when the
conditions are not met for too long and further delaying the backup is undesirable.
backup task start time matters - skip the backup task if the conditions are not met at the time
when the task should be started. Skipping the task run makes sense when you need to back up
data strictly at the specified time, especially if the events are relatively often.
Adding multiple conditions
Multiple conditions must be met simultaneously to enable task execution.
