Fits the time interval

Restricts a backup start time to a specified interval.

Example

A company uses different locations on the same network-attached storage for backing up users' data and servers. The workday starts at 08:00 and ends at 17:00. Users' data should be backed up as soon as the users log off, but not earlier than 16:30. Every day at 23:00 the company's servers are backed up. So, all the users' data should preferably be backed up before this time, in order to free network bandwidth. It is assumed that backing up user's data takes no more than one hour, so the latest backup start time is 22:00. If a user is still logged on within the specified time interval, or logs off at any other time – do not back up the users' data, i.e., skip backup execution.

  • Event: When a user logs off the system. Specify the user account: Any user.
  • Condition: Fits the time interval from 16:30 to 22:00.
  • Backup start conditions: Skip the scheduled backup.

As a result:

(1) if the user logs off between 16:30 and 22:00, the backup will start immediately following the logging off.

(2) if the user logs off at any other time, the backup will be skipped.
