Overdue Settings

Overdue is a special plan status designed to determine whether a plan was started and/or finished on time or with an acceptable delay. You can apply overdue settings to scheduled backup plans, restore plans, and scheduled Consistency Check plans.

Overdue settings are configured by the administrator. Overdue settings can be applied separately for a selected plan or in bulk for multiple plans. The following options are available:

• Mark the plan as overdue if it didn't run on schedule. This option is enabled by default for all scheduled plans. If your plan did not run on schedule for some reason (for example, the computer was turned off), it will be marked as overdue with the Didn't start on schedule status until the next successful run.
• Mark the plan as overdue in x hours/days from the last success. You need to enable this option manually on the Backup > Monitoring/History page for a selected plan, or you can enable it during plan creation on the Schedule Options step of the plan wizard. Select this option to assign the Overdue status to plans with no successful executions for the specified period, then set the period in days or hours. The counting of this interval begins from the moment the previous successful execution was reported. With this option selected, you will see the overdue period from the last successful run of the plan. If a backup plan is not successful within the specified interval, it is assigned the 'Overdue' status. The plan remains in the 'Overdue' status until the next success within the specified interval.
