| The My Tasks Tab |
 |
 |
|
| Overview |
| The My Tasks Tab is where the user manages all back up tasks. He/She can use this tab to create a new task, edit an existing task, delete an existing task or even run an existing task on demand. |
| |
| It can be split into four sections as follows: |
- Selection Listbox - To the left hand side of the tab, used to list all the user created tasks, if any exist.
- Viewing/Editing Fields - To the right of the listbox. The fields display the settings for the selected task in the listbox.
- Back Up Metrics - A collection of checkboxes for selecting which files to back up.
- Command Buttons - Towards the bottom of the tab for overall management of the task.
|
|
|
| Section 1 - Task Selection Listbox |
| The listbox contains one entry for each task the user has created. The task name is displayed in the listbox. When the user selects a task in the listbox, the fields are refreshed so as to show the settings/parameters for the selected task. |
|
 |
|
|
| Section2 - Task Viewing/Edit Fields |
| The viewing/editing fields are used to define the task parameters, each field is covered in detail below. |
|
| Task Id |
| A unique readonly task-id number, incremented automatically by the application. |
|
| Task Name |
| The name of the back up task. It is recommended to use a user friendly name so that you can recognise it easily. |
|
| Task Days |
| The days on which you wish the task to operate, each day name separated by a comma and containing no spaces. |
| |
| Day names are expected in short form only, using 3 letters for each day (mon, tue, wed, thu, fri, sat, sun) |
|
| Task Start Time (HH:MM) |
| The time you wish the task to start, times start at 00:00 and finish at 23:59 |
|
| Repeat (Hrs) |
| When this field has a value greater than zero then the back up process is repeated after the value defined. |
| |
| For example; If the start time was set to 03:00 and this was set to 2 then the task would initally run at 03:00 and then be repeated at 05:00, 07:00, 09:00, 11:00, 13:00, 15:00, 17:00, 19:00, 21:00, 23:00 |
|
| Task Source Folder |
| This identifies the Dayz Server folder, the folder that will be backed up. |
|
| Task Dest Folder |
| This identifies the back up destination folder, the folder to which the Dayz Server will be backed up. |
|
| DayZ EXE Full Path |
| This identifies and points to the DayzServer_x64.Exe file for the server being backed up. The purpose of having this field is so that the user can easily see if this instance of his/her Dayz Server Files need to be updated or not, at his/her preference of course. |
|

| This readonly field displays the date this task was last run. |
|
| Time Last Ran |
