Overdue Settings

Overdue is a special plan status that is designed to determine if a backup plan was started and/or finished on time.

Overdue settings are configured by the admin. Overdue settings can be applied separately for a selected plan or in bulk for multiple plans (see the paragraph below). Overdue has only one parameter: the time interval in hours or days within a successful plan execution is expected. The counting of this interval begins from the moment the previous successful execution was reported.

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.
