Automatic repeat intervals

By using "Repeat interval" the backup job will be started automatically in regular intervals. Months, days, hours and minutes can be used for interval settings. Positive numbers are necessary for the respective fields. To set a field to zero means no interval for this. Setting an interval for more than one field results in the repeat interval being the sum of all fields.
Example: set hours to '5' and minutes to '30'. The result is a repeat intervall of five and a half hours, which means that the job starts every 5 1/2 hours. The time of the repeat interval is always added to the start time of the job to get the next start date. When a job needs more time than the repeat interval, the next repetition starts at the next full interval after the job has finished. Example: interval is set for 1 hour, the job is prepared to start at 15:00 o'clock and needs 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete.
The next repetition of the job doesn't start at 16:00 o'clock, because the old job from 15:00 o'clock is still running. The start for the next repetition is 17:00 o'clock (the next free repeat interval)! If you want to have a daily backup at 19:00 o'clock, set the start time to 19:00 o'clock and as a repeat interval set the days to '1'. The backup job starts every day at 19:00 o'clock. To get a backup every quarter of a year, set the months to '3'.
