Queuing multiple Backup Now jobs

Thread needs solution

How do I get a second backup to run as soon as the current "backup now" has finished?

2015 (trial) is telling me it "failed to start" which I eventually found (in KB) simply means "you cannot run 2 tasks at once". Well, I don't want to run two at once, just to have them queued up to run one after the other. I'm pretty sure 2014 did this if you just clicked "run now" on several tasks.

Hello, Phil.
Actually it should work exactly as you say: when you click on "Back up now" on several backup tasks they are queued and start one after another.
Could you describe the situation in more detail? What are you backing up and where? Does this error appear when the first backup plan is running and you try to start the second one? Is there any more information in the error message that you get?
