In this case, whether and when the task will run depends on the task start conditions:
If the task start conditions are
Skip the task execution
, the task will never run.
If the task start conditions are
Wait until the conditions are met
and the
Run the task anyway
after
check box is
cleared
, the task (scheduled to run at 3:00 PM) will start at 6:00 PM—the time
when the condition is met.
If the task start conditions are
Wait until the conditions are met
and the
Run the task anyway
after
check box is
selected
with, say, the
1 Hour
waiting time, the task (scheduled to run at
3:00 PM) will start at 4:00 PM—the time when the waiting period ends.
5.6.4
User logged off
Applies to: Windows
Enables to put a backup task run on hold until all users log off from Windows on the managed
machine.
Example
Run the backup task at 8 PM on the first and third Friday of every month, preferably when all users
are logged off. If one of the users is still logged on at 11 PM, run the task anyway.
Event:
Monthly
, Months:
<All>
; On:
<First>
,
<Third>
<Friday>
; Once at
08:00:00 PM
.
Condition:
User logged off
.
Task start conditions:
Wait until the conditions are met
, Run the task anyway after
3
hour(s).
As a result,
(1) If all users are logged off at 8PM, the backup task will start at 8PM.
(2) If the last user logs off between 8PM and 11PM, the backup task will start immediately after the
user has logged off.
(3) If any of the users is still logged on at 11PM, the backup task starts anyway.
5.6.5
Time since last backup
Applies to: Windows, Linux
Enables to put a backup task run on hold until the specified time interval since the last successful
backup completion passes.
Example:
Run the backup task at system startup, but only if more than 12 hours have passed since the last
successful backup.
Event:
At startup
, Start the task on machine startup.
Condition:
Time since last backup
, Time since the last backup:
12
hour(s).
Task start conditions:
Wait until the conditions are met
.
As a result,
(1) if the machine is restarted before 12 hours pass since the completion of the latest successful
backup, the scheduler will wait until 12 hours pass, and then will start the task.
