Edit source of current task or better to create a new task?

Thread needs solution

Hi

Is it OK to remove some of the currently selected source items in an existing task or would it be better to create a new task?

I was just wondering how the validation would cope with different source items in the earlier TIB files.

Thanks

If you are talking about incremental scheme backup I would recommend creating a new task.  Full or differential schemes would probably be ok but in general, changes to source data of a task should be done as a new task.

Use the option to 'Clone settings' for your task then edit the new cloned task and point it to a new destination unless you will keep the task name unique / different to the original one.

Thanks Guys. Really helpful. Yes I suspected it may cause potential problems.

Ive gone the clone route and made the changes there. Much more reliable and fuss free,

Cheers.
