Scheduling Background Tasks

Tip: If you want to change a scheduled task, you first remove the scheduled item and then add it back with the desired day, time, and duration.

Note: Setting up the Scheduling window does not actually request background tasks. It simply specifies when they can run. For more information about the background tasks themselves, see “Background Tasks” on page 68.

You can also set the rate at which background tasks are performed compared to I/O tasks. For more information, see “Setting Background Task Rate” on page 75.

Scheduled Task Duration

If a rebuild completes within a scheduling window, it will not start over at the next scheduled time block, unless another rebuild is required.

If a rebuild does not complete in the scheduled time block, it will continue where it left off at the next scheduled time block.

Similarly, if a verify operation does not complete in the scheduled time block, it will continue where it left off at the next scheduled time block.

Viewing Current Task Schedules

You can see the current schedules for background tasks on the Scheduling page.
