VSC 6.2.1 Hourly Backups - Exclude Times

Chris_Jones — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 14:24:05 GMT

Is anyone aware of a way in VSC to exclude a schedule from running at certain times?

For example, if I have a datastore I want to backup every hour during business hours, say 7am to 7pm, is there a way to do this with the hourly schedule in VSC?

I could create 13 daily backups, the first at 7am, the second at 8am, the third at 9am, etc. But I was hoping there is an easier way to do this?

Thanks,

Chris

There is no such provision in VSC 6.2.1 to exclude a schedule from running at certain times.
Hourly backup will take backups hourly, there is no option to choose some range for taking backups.

That's a shame, but it's what I was expecting. Thanks.
