Overview

Once you have prepared your backup strategy, you can assign individual backup, migration and other tasks to a task group and then trigger the start of all tasks belonging to that group with a single event. The tasks are processed according to the number of available channels. The remaining tasks are placed in the execution queue and started sequentially.

It is recommended that you create a task for each task type, for example, VMs (VMware, Hyper-V, etc.), applications (MSSQL, Exchange, etc.), path (normal file system backups), system state (Windows System State).

Steps

You can add all the tasks for one backup target or other tasks with similar characteristics to a task group and trigger all the tasks with a single event.

  1. From Main Selection -> Tasks -> By groups, click New task group. The New task group window opens.
  2. Enter the Group name. Under Tasks for this group, select the tasks (from the list of all available tasks on the left) and add them to your newly created task group list.

  4. If you want to start a job for the task group immediately, right-click the task group name and click Immediate start. If you want to schedule the task group, click New schedule under Main Selection -> Scheduling -> Schedules.

    • A task group must always be linked to a schedule with a corresponding event attached to it. For details on creating the whole scheduled event setup, see Standard Backup Procedure.
    • If you already have a configured schedule, you can link your task group to it by clicking the Schedule tab in the Task group properties window. Once you have configured a schedule, you will have to create a new event for it.
