What is the Backup Scheduler?
Backup Scheduler is a tool for regular automatic executing of
backup jobs at the specified time.
This program allows you to schedule
automatic backup
by the command-line utility (d_back.exe)
or schedule automatic execution of any command-line tasks
on the MS Windows 9x/NT/2000/ME/XP operating systems.
Backup scheduler main features:
- Separate scheduling of job's execution day and time;
- Supports a rich set of conditions for scheduling execution such as:
- When CPU is Idle;
- When file or directory exists (not exists);
- When changes in directory have been made;
- Monitoring of all jobs activities (standart output of the tasks) in a log files;
- Monitoring of the scheduler service activity;
- Debugging mode.
The backup scheduler is partitioned in two programs: Jobs manager and Scheduler service.
Jobs manager (scheduler.exe) is a windows application, which is intended for creating jobs executing profile (job definitions, execution options, scheduling, ...etc) and monitoring the tasks execution results.
Scheduler service (sched_srv.exe) - is a tiny program, which runs in a background mode
and executes jobs which have been defined by the Scheduler manager in
jobs profile. Scheduler service can be used for both Windows 9x and Windows NT system familyes.
It can run as a usual background task under Win9x systems,
and as a service under WinNT/XP/2000 operating systems.
