Time since last backup

Applies to: Windows, Linux
Enables to put a backup task run on hold until the specified time interval since the last successful
backup completion passes.
Example:
Run the backup task at system startup, but only if more than 12 hours have passed since the last
successful backup.
 Event: At startup, Start the task on machine startup.

Condition: Time since last backup, Time since the last backup: 12 hour(s).

Task start conditions: Wait until the conditions are met.
As a result,
(1) if the machine is restarted before 12 hours pass since the completion of the latest successful
backup, the scheduler will wait until 12 hours pass, and then will start the task.
(2) if the machine is restarted after 12 hours have passed since the completion of the latest
successful backup, the backup task will start immediately.
(3) if the machine is never restarted, the task will never start. You can start the backup manually, if
need be, in the Backup plans and tasks view.
