Back to back scheduled tasks - JayDee - 10-17-2024
I may be missing something simple... I want to run 2 tasks
daily at (say) 8:00 am. It seems that when one starts it
blocks the start of the other task until the next day.
Not sure if I have that right... so comments would be appreciated.

I believe it can only run 1-task at a time, and the only remediation offered is if you miss a scheduled backup is to run it the next time your System does a StartUp... which I think is what's happening to you.
RE: Back to back scheduled tasks - JayDee - 10-17-2024
I think a work around (yet to be tested)
1. run full back task 1 and then full backup task 2
2. schedule the tasks (now incremental) separated in scheduled
time by (say) 30 minutes or so
Just pick sufficient time for a successful incremental backup.
It would be far better to have the tasks in a queue tho'
so the second one would start as soon as the first is finished.
The missed schedule option seems to only apply to reboot (?)

Technically, two tasks will be executed consecutively, are you sure only one of them will be executed?
RE: Back to back scheduled tasks - JayDee - 10-17-2024
Only one was executed....
Now I'm not sure... an additional test both were executed
I'll do further testing to be sure what I did wrong when they
didn't both execute.
A work around:
* create a .cmd script listing tasks
* schedule the .cmd script

Further testing:
All tasks scheduled for the same time completed without error.
Cannot recreate the issue I had previously
HBS works great!!
