What happens to my scheduled backups after upgrading to GBM 9.0?

GBM 9.0 can automatically import scheduled tasks created from GBM 6.0, GBM 7.0 and GBM 8.0; however the imported tasks will have limitations:

1. Will not run while user is logged off: Due to Security reasons, GBM will not be able to import your windows login username and password that are necessary to run backups when logged off.

2. You cannot edit it directly from GBM: Since GBM has changed the whole infrastructure of the scheduled tasks component, old scheduled will not appear in the GBM scheduler; however, you may view and edit them from Windows Scheduled Tasks.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that you delete these scheduled tasks if you wish to edit them inside GBM or run while user is logged off. This is performed by going to Control Panel> Scheduled tasks> Right click the scheduled task and click “Delete” and then edit your backup jobs and create scheduled backups using the enhanced GBM Scheduler.

What’s New in GBM Scheduler?

1. The ability to backup while user is logged in or not: This option eliminates the need to always ask for Windows login username or password if the user wishes to run tasks when logged on.

2. Fully integrated in the backup procedure: Now it is more clear to view the schedule of the backup job, instead of going to the schedule wizard

3. Schedule every few hours

4. Advanced scheduled mode: Allows you to schedule with rotating backup types*

5. Limit number of backup sets**: You can limit backup sets if supported by media

6. Added option to remove backup countdown

*Not Supported in GBM Home 8.0 and 9.0

**Available Advanced Schedule mode only
