I have read this on the forum. However, I have separate schedules for each job. If the schedules happen to overlap, they run in parallel.
Am I to understand that the parallel checkbox only works WITHIN each schedule?
Do all jobs in a schedule run sequentially?
What happens if the schedule starts again before its jobs have finished?
Yes
Unless parallel check box is checked.
It can’t start again unless it finished.
Thanks. Is there any way to make it respect parallel settings across schedules?
There is no setting that works across schedules, only within.
What are you trying to accomplish on a high level?
How does parallel work then?
I have a schedule with 7 backup tasks in it. After each backup I want it to start the next backup but I also want it to run a check while that next backup is starting.
Ticking the parallel checkbox by the check tasks seems to make no difference. All the tasks only are carried out sequentially. It’s unclear to me whether a parallel task is meant to run in parallel with the task before or the task after. Or if two consecutive tasks BOTH need to be parallel in order to run. In which case how you make them both start but one has to finish before the next task runs.
Basically I want all backup tasks to run in series but for any check task to run in parallel with a previously-started backup.
