corresponding check boxes (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, and Fri), and leaves the remaining ones
unchanged.
2. Once at: 09:00:00 PM.
3. Effective:
From: empty. If you have created the task, say on Monday at 11:30 AM, the task will be started
on the same day at 9 PM. If the task was created, say on Friday after 9 PM, then it will be started
for the first time on the nearest workday (Monday in our example) at 9 PM.
End date: empty. The task will be restarted for an indefinite number of weeks.
This schedule is widely used when creating a custom backup scheme. The "Workdays"-like schedule
is added to the incremental backups, while the full backup is scheduled to be performed one day in
the week. For more details, see the Full and incremental backups plus cleanup example in the
Custom backup scheme (p. 68) section.
Several weekly schedules for one task
In the case when the task needs to be run on different days of the weeks with different time intervals,
consider adding a dedicated schedule to every desired day of the week, or to several days.
For example, you need the task to be run with the following schedule:
Monday: twice at 12 PM (noon) and 9 PM
Tuesday: every 3 hours from 9 AM until 9 PM
Wednesday: every 3 hours from 9 AM until 9 PM
Thursday: every 3 hours from 9 AM until 9 PM
Friday: twice at 12 PM and 9 PM (i.e. same as on Monday)
Saturday: once at 9 PM
Sunday: once at 9 PM
Combining the identical times, the following three schedules can be added to the task:
First schedule
1. Every: 1 week(s) on: Mon, Fri.
2. Every: 9 hours
From: 12:00:00 PM Until: 09:00:00 PM.
3. Effective:
From: not set.
To: not set.
Second schedule
1. Every 1 week(s) on: Tue, Wed, Thu.
2. Every 3 hours
From 09:00:00 AM until 09:00:00 PM.
3. Effective:
From: not set.
To: not set.
Third schedule
