One-off Tasks

A one-off task is a task that runs immediately without being attached to a schedule. This is useful when you want to run an operation on demand, such as triggering an immediate backup or restore a backup snapshot.

One-off tasks can be created directly from Operations > Scheduling or from the various pages as a quick way to setup tasks. This includes:

• Each connector pages have quick actions to run tasks supported by the connector. See the connectors documentation
• When browsing snapshots in a store or a source you can quickly setup a restore or check task on each snapshot. See the store connector and source connector documentation

All of these lead to the same task UI. From there you can run the task immediately as a one-off, or attach a schedule to it and have it run repeatedly. See the scheduler documentation for details on attaching schedules and monitoring job progress.
