Condition: run the task only if
Location's host is available
The task run time is within the specified time interval
The specified period of time has passed since the completion of the last successful
backup within the same backup plan
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. 93) backup option.
What-ifs

What if an event occurs (and a condition, if any, is met) while the previous task run has not
completed?
The event will be ignored.

What if an event occurs while the scheduler is waiting for the condition required by the
previous event?
The event will be ignored.

What if the condition is not met for a very long time?
If delaying a backup is getting risky, you can force the condition (tell the users to log off) or run
the task manually. To automatically handle this situation, you can set the time interval after
which the task will run regardless of the condition.
4.4.1 Daily schedule
Daily schedule is effective in Windows and Linux operating systems.
To specify a daily schedule
In the Schedule area, select the appropriate parameter as follows:
Every: <...> day(s) Set up the certain number of days you want the task to be run. For example, if
you set Every 2 day(s), the task will be started on every other day.
In the During the day execute the task... area, select one of the following:
Once at: <...> Set up the time at which the task will be run once.
Every: <...>
From: <...> Until: <...>
Set up how many times the task will be restarted during the specified time
interval. For example, setting the task frequency to Every 1 hour From
10:00:00 AM until 10:00:00 PM allows the task to run 12 times: from 10 AM
to 10 PM during one day.
In the Effective... area, set the following settings:
From: <...> Set up a date when this schedule will be enabled (an effective date). If this
check box is cleared, the task will be started on the nearest day and time you
have specified above.
To: <...> Set up a date when this schedule will be disabled. If this check box is cleared,
the task will be run for an indefinite number of days.
All the settings you made are displayed in the Result field at the bottom of the window.
