Run Now greyed out for scheduled backup

Question & Answer


Question

Why is "Run Now" greyed out for my VM backup schedule in the plugin GUI?

Cause

This is caused by how the schedule is defined initially

Answer

When you define a schedule using the plugin GUI, you are offered two ways to start the backup.


If you select "Run the backup now", you will be able to use the Run Now option later. However you will not be able to schedule this backup to run later.


If you select "Schedule for later", you will be able to have the schedule run later, but the "Run Now" option will be greyed out.
