4.1 SCHEDULER AND QUICKSTART MODES

The users can perform backup of record trains in XStream using two different
modes: the Scheduler mode or the QuickStart mode. The users activate these
modes by clicking the buttons at the top of the XStream main window:

Both modes cannot be active nor work at the same time, even on different EVS
video servers.

The Scheduler mode allows the user to schedule the following backup jobs on one
or several EVS video servers at a time:

backup of record train(s) scheduled to start at a given time before the nowline
(i.e. the orange vertical line symbolizing the current position in the time grid).

backup of record train(s) scheduled to start at a given time after the nowline.

backup of record train(s) scheduled to start straight away, i.e. from the

nowline onwards.

backup of record train(s) scheduled to start at an unknown time (pending job)

In all cases, the duration for the backup can be specified.
