Tasks by Groups

For the menu location Tasks->Groups it is possible to enter multiple tasks in one or more groups. You can also see all of the tasks that have been assigned to a particular group with this view. A single event will activate all the collected tasks within the task group. The tasks will then be executed depending on the number of sms channels available. The remaining tasks will be retained in the execution queue and will be started chronologically.

With a right mouse click on the task group you will open a menu with the following options:

• Immediate_Start here
• Properties here

Properties Task Group

Tab Assign Tasks

With the arrow > selector you can add a single and with the double-arrow >> selector you can add all available tasks to the chosen task group. You can remove tasks using the arrow selectors < und <<. The task execution sequence can be altered by selecting a task and moving it up or down with the respective arrows ↓ and ↑. The uppermost task is performed first. If you are using a 'Standard' server license the first five tasks will be be performed when the backup starts and the rest will be queued for execution as the first tasks finish.
