Hello,
I am using SyncBackPro for some tasks I only do when being in the office. These are in most of the cases non public holidays and when I am not on holiday. It would be therefore some "nice to have" if you could maintain some calendar which you could optional apply to certain tasks.
Do you mean as far as scheduling profiles/groups? For instance, do you not want your sync profile to run on Christmas day because you won't be there?
That may be tough, because keep in mind that SyncbackSE/PRO uses the Windows Scheduler to schedule tasks. If Window doesn't have this option, not much that Pro can likely do.
If you don't want it to run on holidays, turn off the PC? Of course, you'd need to have the option* in the Scheduled Task set not to 'run task as soon as possible after missed', but guess you'd want that anyway (to avoid missed Task/s trying to run just after you boot up)
* this option is only available directly via the Scheduler interface (not via the COM+ drill-down in SE/Pro)
Yep, and I don't think that issue "not to run as soon as possible after missed" is an issue on Windows XP, but believe it's on by default in Win 7. Not sure about Vista, never ran SyncbackPro for a long period of time on Vista but presume it is the same as 7.
Good point. XP only has the global option to 'notify of missed tasks'. Vista & Server 2008 are same as Win 7 (new style scheduler), except it doesn't seem to be enabled in Vista by default judging by a quick check on a VM
Yep, when first using SyncbackPro on Vista/7/2008 when your used to XP, one might easily not realize that by default profiles will run when missed. As long as we are on the topic (and in the ideas and general discussion forum) perhaps we should suggest a drill down from the SyncbackSE/Pro scheduler to that option in the Windows scheduler? Something in SyncbackSE/Pro along the lines of "do you want this task to run as soon as possible if it's missed?"
