This option is effective in Windows and Linux operating systems.
This option determines the program behavior in case a backup is about to start (the scheduled time comes or the event specified in the schedule occurs), but the condition (or any of multiple conditions) is not met. For more information about conditions refer to "Start conditions".
The preset is: Wait until the conditions are met.
Wait until the conditions are met
With this setting, the scheduler starts monitoring the conditions and launches the backup as soon as the conditions are met. If the conditions are never met, the backup will never start.
To handle the situation when the conditions are not met for too long and further delaying the backup is becoming risky, you can set the time interval after which the backup will run irrespective of the condition. Select the Start the backup anyway after check box and specify the time interval. The backup will start as soon as the conditions are met OR the maximum time delay lapses, depending on which comes first.
Skip the scheduled backup
Delaying a backup might be unacceptable, for example, when you need to back up data strictly at the specified time. Then it makes sense to skip the backup rather than wait for the conditions, especially if the backups occur relatively often.
