Using v7.  If one scheduled job is not completed by the time my 2nd run is scheduled, does the 2nd run start when the first run is completed?
i.e. Our OS full backup starts at 1am and the full backup of our Data drive is scheduled for 2am.  If the OS job is not completed by 2am, will the 2nd job run without a problem?:
Thanks.

When the first job is completed, the next one "in que" should start.  So yes, you can expect the 2nd one to start after the first one completes.

Yes, I do this all the time.  Reflect can only run one job at a time, but it can have multiple jobs queued at any given time.  If there's a limit to the number of jobs that can be in the queue, I haven't found it.  And then yes as soon as the current running job completes, the next job in the queue starts up.  You don't have to make sure that your OS job is complete before your Data partition job is scheduled to start.

The only caveat to this is multiple queued scheduled backups may not necessarily run in the order in which they were queued.  There doesn't appear to be any set behavior for how these jobs execute, but last I checked, queued jobs didn't always run in the order in which they were queued.

That's good to hear. I thank you for the quick reply.
