5.5. Properties - Task Scheduler

What is the "Properties" Option?
The Properties option allows you to view and modify the configuration details of an existing scheduled task in the Task Scheduler.
This includes settings such as:
  • 📅 Schedule Type (e.g., One Time, Daily, Weekly, Shutdown, etc.)
  • ⏰ Date and Time of execution
  • 🔄 Task Type (Rollback, New Snapshot, Defrag Snapshot)
  • ⚙️ Advanced Options (e.g., auto shutdown after defrag, lock snapshot, exclusions)
 
Why Use the Properties Option?
  • To review the current settings of a scheduled task
  • To edit or update the task without deleting and recreating it
  • To troubleshoot or verify if the task is set up correctly
  • To fine-tune settings like retention days, weekend-only execution, or change execution time
 
How to Use:
1. Select the task from the list in the Task Scheduler.
2. Click on the "Properties" button or right-click and choose Properties.
3. A window will open showing all the details of the selected task.
4. Make changes as needed, then click Save or Apply.
 
💡 Tip: Always double-check the Properties of a task after creating or editing to ensure all settings are correct and nothing is missing.
