Client backup
Client backup has been enhanced in 1.0.4 to allow a second backup per day.
When a Lights-Out backup is scheduled during the standard WHS backup window only one backup takes place and
Lights-Out suppresses any WHS backup.
When a Lights-Out backup is scheduled outside the standard WHS backup window you can run two backups per day.
Example 1, standard backup window 00 – 06 AM, Lights-Out backup scheduled for 03:00 AM.
Only on backup is performed at 03:00 AM.
Example 2, standard backup window 00 – 06 AM, Lights-Out backup scheduled for 06:00 PM.
A first WHS backup is run between 00 – 06 AM, a second Lights-Out backup is run at 06:00 PM.
