Scheduling multiple backup jobs

I wanted to schedule a full backup of my server (C: and D: drives), but the software suggested dividing large jobs into parts. So I created a job for C: drive and one for D: drive. I scheduled them around the same time, thinking they would either multithread, or one would wait for the other. Instead, one failed.

So...do I have to guess how long one will take and schedule that much time between them? Or should I put them back into one job?

How to unschedule

Well, I guess I found my answer in the thread "Batch Backup". (Honest, I did look through the forum before I posted--I just didn't realize that thread would have my answer, until I read the posts...)

But that raises another question: I already scheduled each of the backup jobs individually. I can't seem to figure out how to UNschedule them. (Right now there are three MS Scheduler AIS backup tasks--Full C, Full D, and Full Full (both of them together). Should I just delete the ones I don't want using the MS Scheduler window? Or is there a way to do that from within AIS?

An existing schedule may be deleted from AISBackup's task scheduler form, however, this may not be intuitive. AISBackup can be used to launch Microsoft's MS Task scheduler interface using the Tools / Show MS Task Scheduler option, from here tasks may easily be deleted.
