Hi

We've bought the software recently and it looks to be just what we need, but I have just tried to set up a new schedule to do a full backup of all our databases on Sunday evening (today is Friday) at 21:00 and then a differential every day at 21:00. As today is Friday and I don't want the full backup to run until Sunday I want to delay the schedule in effect.

Is this possible or would I have to start the schedule on the actual day I want it to run?

Thanks!

As a quick solution I'd suggest you the following:

1) Wait until Sunday
2) On Sunday at any time before 21:00 open your job, select "Lazy" backup scenario in Advanced Scheduling Settings and set Full backup to start at 21:00
3) Save the job and make sure that it scheduled at 21:00

That's it!

Thanks for the reply, but if I worked on Sundays I wouldn't have asked how to postpone the backup until then.
