Start time und date


By using these two imput fields the start date and time for a backup job can be set. The start date and time are only evaluated when the backup is started as a job by using "Start Backup". If the start time isn't reached, the backup job is stored in the job queue (see "Job Queue" window) of SIEGFRIED BACKUP. The backup job is started automaticaly when the start time is reached. SIEGFRIED BACKUP checks the job queue in short regular intervals.

The verification is only done when SIEGFRIED BACKUP is running. Quitting SIEGFRIED BACKUP results in all running jobs being canceled and the entries (jobs) of the job queue being saved. Starting SIEGFRIED BACKUP later on results in the saved job entries being restored in the job queue (incl. the canceled jobs).



At the initial opening of the scheduler window, SIEGFRIED BACKUP sets the current date and time.
