How to Edit a Custom Scheme

Thread needs solution

Once I save a Custom Scheme as the Default, how do I go back in and edit/verify this saved Custom Scheme?  Currently, I do not see any way to do this in Home 2016 like one could edit/verify a Saved Task in Home 2010.

This needs to be fixed ASAP!

Tom, it's already there - no issues at all.

Select the backup task you originally created the custom scheme with.  At the bottom you will see "options".  Click on that and modify the settings as needed,  Then ensure the button to "save as default" is again selected and hit "OK". This will modify the default settings again. 

PREFERABLY, do this via a new "backup task though" as modifying existing tasks can cause database issues ore reset the cleanup task version timeline.  

Also, keep in mind that modifying the default scheme will not modify existing backup tasks, only new ones that will be created from that point forward.

Ok, what confused me is it asked for the Password in the Scheme....2010 never did that to edit/verify the Task or Scheme.

FWIW, there are zero instructions in the UM on how to do this.

Thanks for the quick response.
