Hello.

At a site, I'm backing up several machines, most of which are clients that are not powered on every day.

I've set up the following schedule and jobs:
Schedule { Name="DailyFDI" Run=Full 1st sun at 09:30 Run=Differential 2nd-5th sun at 09:30 Run=Incremental mon-sat at 09:30 } Job { Name=example
  Client=example
Schedule=DailyFDI Reschedule On Error=yes Reschedule Interval=3600 Reschedule Times=11
  Max Start Delay=36000
...
}

The intention is that:
_ jobs are scheduled at 9:30;
_ if the clients does not respond, they are rescheduled one hour later and so on, up to 19:30; _ after 19:30 the job should fail in order to free the queues for servers/always-on devices which are backed up at night;
_ N.B. If a job starts at 19:29 I don't want to stop it, but let it finish.

However, it does not work like that.
Since there are many clients, they delay each other, and it seems "Max Start Delay" starts over at each reschedule, so these jobs stay scheduled all the night through and even the day after (when duplicate jobs are cancelled).

Is there a settings similar to "Max Start Delay", but which counts from the first schedule of the job (in my case 9:30)?

 Thanks in advance
        av.
