Actions on backup plans and tasks

The following is a guideline for you to perform operations with backup plans and tasks.

Restrictions

Without the Administrator privileges on the machine, a user cannot run or modify plans or tasks owned by other users.
It is not possible to modify or delete a currently running backup plan or task.
A centralized backup plan or task can be modified or deleted only on the management server side.

To	Do
Create a new backup plan or task	Click New, then select one of the following: Backup plan Recovery task Validation task
View details of a plan/task	Click Details. In the respective Plan Details or Task Details window, review the plan or task details.
View plan's/task's log	Click Log. You will be taken to the Log view containing the list of the log entries grouped by the plan/task-related activities.
Run a plan/task	Backup plan Click Run. In the drop-down list, select the plan's task you need run. Running the backup plan starts the selected task of that plan immediately in spite of its schedule and conditions. Task Click Run. The task will be executed immediately in spite of its schedule and conditions.
Stop a plan/task	Click Stop. Backup plan Stopping the running backup plan stops all its tasks. Thus, all the task operations will be aborted. Task Stopping a task aborts its operation (recovery, validation, exporting, conversion, etc.). The task enters the Idle state. The task schedule, if created, remains valid. To complete the operation you will have to run the task over again. What will happen if I stop the recovery task? Recovering disks: the aborted operation may cause changes in the target disk. Depending on the time that has passed since the task run, the target disk may not be initialized, or the disk space may be unallocated, or some volumes may be recovered and others not. To recover the entire disk, run the task once again. Recovering volumes: the target volume will be deleted and its space unallocated – the same result you will get if the recovery is unsuccessful. To recover the “lost” volume, run the task once again. Recovering files or folders: the aborted operation may cause changes in the destination folder. Depending on the time that has passed since the task run, some files may be recovered, but some not. To recover all the files, run the task once again.
Edit a plan/task	Click Edit. Backup plan editing is performed in the same way as creation, except for the following limitations: It is not always possible to use all scheme options, when editing a backup plan if the created archive is not empty (i.e. contains backups). It is not possible to change the scheme to Grandfather-Father-Son or Tower of Hanoi. If the Tower of Hanoi scheme is used, it is not possible to change the number of levels. In all other cases the scheme can be changed, and should continue to operate as if existing archives were created by a new scheme. For empty archives all changes are possible.
Clone a backup plan	Click Clone. The clone of the original backup plan will be created with default name "Clone of <original_plan_name>". The cloned plan will be disabled immediately after cloning, so that it does not run concurrently with the original plan. You can edit the cloned plan settings before enabling it.
Enable a plan	Click Enable. The previously disabled backup plan will run again as scheduled.
Disable a plan	Click Disable. The backup plan will not run as scheduled. However, it can be started manually. After a manual run, the plan will stay disabled. The plan will run as usual if you enable it again.
Export a plan	Click Export. Specify the path and name of the resulting file. See Export and import of backup plans for more information.
Import a plan	Click Import. Specify the path and name of the file that contains a previously exported plan. See Export and import of backup plans for more information.
Delete a plan/task	Click Delete.
