5.6. Conditions
Conditions add more flexibility to the scheduler, enabling to execute backup tasks with respect to
certain conditions. Once a specified event occurs (see the Scheduling section for the list of available
events), the scheduler checks the specified condition and executes the task if the condition is met.
certain conditions. Once a specified event occurs (see the Scheduling section for the list of available
events), the scheduler checks the specified condition and executes the task if the condition is met.
The scheduler behavior in case the event occurs but the condition (or any of multiple conditions) is
not met, is defined by the Task start conditions (p. 107) backup option. There, you can specify how
important the conditions are for the backup strategy:
not met, is defined by the Task start conditions (p. 107) backup option. There, you can specify how
important the conditions are for the backup strategy:
•
conditions are obligatory - put the backup task run on hold until all the conditions are met.
•
conditions are preferable, but a backup task run has higher priority - put the task on hold for the
specified time interval. If the time interval lapses and the conditions are still not met, run the task
anyway. With this setting, the program will automatically handle the situation when the
conditions are not met for too long and further delaying the backup is undesirable.

•
backup task start time matters - skip the backup task if the conditions are not met at the time
when the task should be started. Skipping the task run makes sense when you need to back up
data strictly at the specified time, especially if the events are relatively often.

Adding multiple conditions
Multiple conditions must be met simultaneously to enable task execution.
Example:
It is required to run the backup task after free space on the managed machine is changed by at least
1 GB, but only if all users are logged off and more than 12 hours have passed since the last backup.
1 GB, but only if all users are logged off and more than 12 hours have passed since the last backup.
Set the schedule, conditions and the Task start conditions backup option as follows:
•
Schedule: When free space changed; Value: Run task if free space has changed by at least: 1 GB.
•
Condition: User logged off; Value: Run the task on schedule only if all users are logged off.
•
Condition: Time since last backup; Value: Time since the last backup: 12 hour(s).
•
Task start conditions: Wait until the conditions are met.
If the free space changes by more than 1 GB, the scheduler will wait until both conditions are met at
the same time and then run the backup task.
the same time and then run the backup task.
5.6.1. User is idle
Applies to: Windows
"User is idle" means that a screen saver is running on the managed machine or the machine is locked.
Example:
Run the backup task on the managed machine every day at 9PM, preferably when the user is idle. If
the user is still active by 11PM, run the task anyway.
the user is still active by 11PM, run the task anyway.
•
Event: Daily, every 1 day(s); Once at: 09:00:00 PM.
•
Condition: User is idle.
