Multi-threading Feature Request
Posted: Fri Nov 19, 2004 2:36 pm
Great software! I have a request or two for features.
I believe it would be great if multiple backups could run concurrently if they are backing up to different folders. I do backups to different folders and the way AISBackup works is to stack the backups to run one after the other. I'm backing up about 200 GB of data on Friday (full backups) and then incrementals during the week. The Friday backups take about 24-hours to complete. I would think multi-threading the backups to run concurrently would reduce this time.
Also, if a backups is running and the scheduler kicks off AISBackup for another backup it spits out a window saying AISBackup is already running and the following jobs are not going to run xxxx. It would be nice to append the new jobs to be run after the currently running job is completed. This way backups that run long don't kill regularly scheduled backups.
