Stopping after startup

Thread needs solution

I posted a while back and learned you cannot set the program to wait after start up. This is annoying especially when you have been away and you have a lot of urgent things to do and a) if you let it run it seems to take up more memory than regular, scheduled runs, b) if you stop it, you usually have to restart the computer as it freezes everything.

So question - in Acronis 2019 can you set it so that it does not run for x hours after startup?

What is the best way to stop a run? It seems that stopping a Files Backup is pretty easy, but stopping a Complete Backup messes up the computer and it needs to be restarted.

Thankyou

All recent versions of ATI have had an option available on the Schedule page of the task options to delay running missed tasks for a period of minutes, this includes the latest ATI 2019 as shown in the screen shot below:

There is a further new option as shown above with ATI 2019, which is to 'Run missed operations when an external device is connected' which can be used to delay the backup task until you actually reconnect the backup drive it wants to write to.

One other suggestion here would be to remove the Schedule for your backup tasks when you know that you are going to be away for a period of time, then reset the Schedule when you have returned home and are ready to return to this backup routing.

Thanks Steve, I guess there is no option to have it skip missed ones?

I can barely get it to run normally, so I am not about to delete and reenter schemes.

I just dont want to to start if I miss a day or two. I just want to be able to access my computer. There is rarely much new if I am not working on the computer, so no reason for it to run.

I suppose the work around is to disconnect the F drive if I am gone, even for a day and connect only when I want to computer to backup.

Thank you.

Another option would be to leave the computer on but take it offline from the network, assuming that you don't take it with you when you are away?
