Is there a way to change the backup start time of individual computer out of the normal back up time scheduled? I see in scheduled tasks a backup entry but it states it has never been run but my computer has a backup entry for every day. I have also verified the restore option and it shows the files.
If I change the backup time will the server just send a new task to the computer to backup on the schedule it wants to backup?

I have no clue how it works, my task says never also
Somehow, it tries to run during the backup window set in the dashboard computers, more backup tasks. And if it does not run in that window in 7 to 10 days (not sure exactly) it will start a backup outside the window whenever it is connected.
The task we see as never may be a task to wake the computer for backup if asleep.
Once upon a time someone showed me where the tasks are, but I can't find them now. My thoughts are if you change that task it will not change anything.

Well I changed the time and the server just updated it to the time it wants to run. I note the task is starting a programe named runtask.exe. Has anyone seen any options that can be changed on that line to force a manual backup?
