Scheduled tasks in Paragon Backup & Recovery™ 10 Suite

Would it be possible to add an option to reschedule a task after it has been missed, for example when I have set a daily backup (after I've been logged on) to be run at 19:00 hours, but when I login at 20:00 hours that the scheduled task will still run and won't wait until the next day at 19:00 hours?'

It would also be nice that during the configuration of a daily schedule there could be an option included to auto-minimize the progress window so that the backup progress goes more transparant.

 

Hi in denniz,

in Task Scheduler, rt click the Task, Properties>Settings



Hope it helps.

 

Yeah, but when I do that then the scheduled task in Paragon disappears, allthough it still appears it the Windows Task Scheduler itself.

 

same thing in B&R Free. Must be a bug.

 

Hi denniz,

How were you able to tick "Run task as soon as possible after Scheduled start is missed".

It is greyed out for me - and no Edit option for Settings in Windows Task Manager.

Did you recreate it from scratch in Task Scheduler?

Did anybody try and see if it Paragon will run anyway - if the scheduled start time is missed?

 

After creating the task in Paragon, in the Windows Task Scheduler I right clicked the task for Paragon and then choose Properties/Options/Settings (I have a Dutch version of Windows 7, so I don't know the exact name in the english version of Windows 7)

I also changed the setting to configure the task for Windows 7, instead of Windows 2008/Vista.

Doing it this way, the option wasn't greyed out for me.

 

I just tested it. If you miss the scheduled start time - it won't run.

If you set it up yourself - like you did in Task scheduler - then it should run , as long as it points at a script in the Paragon scripts folder.

 

To be honest, I think it's rather silly that an advanced backup program like Paragon still has such a limited scheduler. Also I don't think it should be necessary that the end-user must resort to the Windows Task Scheduler to set more advanced options.

 

I think we already established it is a bug /oversight of some kind. Pretty sure it is not intended to be like that.

 

I'd like to know if Paragon is considering this as a bug also?

 

I'll ask the devs to take a look at this. It's not behaving the same way for me with Windows XP, so I'd imagine it's only for Vista/7.

XP doesn't have "Run task as soon as possible after Scheduled start is missed" it seems.
