(1) if the user logs off between 04:30:00 PM and 10:00:00 PM, the backup task will start immediately
following the logging off.
(2) if the user logs off at any other time, the task will be skipped.
What if...
What if a task is scheduled to be executed at a certain time and this time is outside the specified time
interval?
For example:

Event: Daily, Every 1 day(s); Once at 03:00:00 PM.

Condition: Fits the time interval, from 06:00:00 PM until 11:59:59 PM.
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.
4.4.5.4 Users 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: Users 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.
4.4.5.5 Time since last backup
Applies to: Windows, Linux
