Running Task

---

There are four ways to execute a task:

• If you check Run now or Execute this task immediately during the task creation in the New Task Wizard, it will be executed straight away as you click Finish.
• If you specify a schedule for the task, it will be executed automatically at the appointed time.
• Manual execution on demand.
• Execution through the use of the command line.

The first two ways are assigned within the New Task Wizard and are described in details in Managing data with Handy Backup. To execute tasks manually you need to perform one of the following actions:

• Right-click the desired task in the Task View window to see the shortcut menu, and then click Execute.
• Select the desired task in the Task View window, and then click the Execute Task button on the program toolbar.
• Select the desired task in the Task View window, click the File menu, and then click Execute.
• Select the desired task in the Task View window, and then press CTRL-F5.

You can also execute one or several tasks through the use of the command line:

• Run Handy Backup Agent (hbagent.exe) with the -e <tasks> parameter. To learn more, read Command Line.

Task status is shown in the Task Window. It may be Success, Error, Idle, Running, Stopped or Scheduled.
