rfajman Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Here's a trivial idea: sometimes I need to rerun a scheduled backup soon after Retrospect has been restarted. I don't want to enter the password, because it is very long and very random, so I schedule a one-time backup to run right away. It would be nice if it didn't take quite so many steps to do that. For example, after clicking on "Add a New Scheduler," one is given three things that can be checked, "Day of Week," "Repeating Interval," and "Single Date" and then buttons for "OK" and "Cancel." Instead of that, how about having these buttons: Day of Week Repeating Interval Single Date Cancel Thus an unnecessary step is eliminated. It would also be nice to have one more button, "Now," to schedule an immediate backup, so it wouldn't be necessary to adjust the starting time.

DavidHertzberg Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 rfajman, The facility you want is probably already in Retrospect Windows 16; it is called a "run document". See pages 236–238 of the Retrospect Windows 16 User's Guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfajman Posted August 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Sorry about the delay in replying. I haven't been here in quite a while. Run documents work well for this purpose, but it's necessary to set one up for each different backup. I did that and put shortcuts in my Start menu for them.
