From: <...> Until: <...>
Set up how many times the task will be run 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 be run 13 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 weeks.
If one or more task launches were missed while the machine was powered off, the software tries to
create a backup at the machine startup. If you do not need this extra backup, clear the If the
machine is turned off, run missed tasks at the machine startup check box.
All the settings you made are displayed in the Result field at the bottom of the window.
Examples
"One day in the week" schedule
Run the task every Friday at 10PM, starting from a certain date (say 05/14/2009) and ending after six
months.
The schedule's parameters are thus set up as follows.
1. Every: 1 week(s) on: Fri.
2. Once at: 10:00:00 PM.
3. Effective:
From: 05/13/2009. The task will be started on the nearest Friday at 10 PM.
To: 11/13/2009. The task will be performed for the last time on this date, but the task itself will
still be available in the Tasks view after this date. (If this date were not a Friday, the task would
be last performed on the last Friday preceding this date.)
This schedule is widely used when creating a custom backup scheme. The "One day in the week"-like
schedule is added to the full backups, while the incremental backups are scheduled to be performed
on workdays. For more details, see the Full and incremental backups plus cleanup example in the
Custom backup scheme (p. 45) section.
"Workdays" schedule
Run the task every week on workdays: from Monday through Friday. During a workday, the task
starts only once at 9 PM.
The schedule's parameters are thus set up as follows.
1. Every: 1 week(s) on: <Workdays> - selecting the <Workdays> check box automatically selects the
corresponding check boxes (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, and Fri), and leaves the remaining ones
unchanged.
2. Once at: 09:00:00 PM.
3. Effective:
