Automatic repeat interval |
By using "Repeat interval" restore
jobs can be started automatically at regular intervals. Months,
days, hours and minutes can be used for interval settings.
Positive numbers must be used in the respective fields. To set a
field to zero means no interval is used. The repeat interval is
an addition of all the fields in the use of more than one field.
Example: hours is set to '5' and minutes to '45'. The result is a
repeat intervall of 5.75 hours, that means that the job starts
every 5 3/4 hours.
The time of the repeat interval is always added to the start time
of the job to get the next start date. If a job needs more time
to complete than the given repeat interval, the next repitition
starts on the next full interval after the job has finished.
Example: interval is set to 1 hour, the job
is prepared to start at 15:00 o'clock and the job needs 1 hour
and 15 minutes to complete. The next repetition of the job isn't
started at 16:00 o'clock, because the old job from 15:00 o'clock
is still running. The start time for the next repetition is 17:00
o'clock (the next free repeat interval)!
If a daily backup at 19:00 o'clock is desired, set the start time
to 19:00 o'clock and set the repeat interval days to '1'. The
backup job starts every day at 19:00 o'clock. To run a backup
every quarter of a year, set the months to '3'.
