The Jobs tab displays details of SQL Backup jobs that have been scheduled, and jobs that have been scheduled using SQL Server.

Select the SQL Server instance or database for which you want to see the jobs in the Registered SQL Servers pane.

To update the details, on the View menu, click  Refresh Connection.

Display

In the first column, indicates that the job was created using SQL Backup (version 5 or later). If no icon is shown, the job was created by an earlier version of SQL Backup and the server components have not yet been upgraded to SQL Backup 5 or later, or the job was created by another program (such as SQL Server native backup).

In the second column, indicates that the backup will be encrypted.

Type shows the type of activity. An icon is displayed so that you can scan the list easily:

	Full backup
	Differential backup
	Transaction log backup
	File or filegroup backup
	Full, differential, transaction log, file, or filegroup restore
All	Backup set restore (Full and differential and/or transaction log)

Note that if you have a dark background colour, the colours of the icons do not reverse. For example:

	Full backup
	Restore

Dates and times are displayed in the time zone local to the selected SQL Server.

If more than one schedule has been created for a job, the Schedules column shows the number of schedules. Click to see the individual schedules. For example:

If a job has never been run, Outcome shows  Unknown.

Interaction

By default, the jobs are listed in order of the date and time of the last run, with the most recent first. You can change the sort order by clicking the header for the column by which you want to sort the list. Click the header again to reverse the order. You can also resize the columns as required.

When you click a job in the Jobs tab, the Time Line view changes to show the activities that correspond to the job and the activities are highlighted. Similarly, when you click a future activity in the time line, its corresponding job is selected in the Jobs tab.

To edit a SQL Backup backup job, right-click the job and click Edit, or double-click the job. The Edit Backup Job wizard is displayed. This is similar to the Schedule Backup Jobs wizard; the wizard contains the settings for the selected job. You can edit only one job at a time. The edit feature is not available for jobs that do not display the icon. Note that some types of SQL Backup jobs (for example, filegroup backup jobs and restore jobs) cannot be edited using the graphical user interface.

To delete a job, right-click the job and click Delete.

To run a job, right-click the job and click Start.

To stop a job that is running, right-click the job and click Stop. If you click Stop for a job that is not currently running, an error is displayed.

SQL Server Agent

If the SQL Server Agent for the selected SQL Server instance is not running, a message is displayed at the top of the list, and the list appears dimmed:

You can start the SQL Server Agent by clicking the Start SQL Server Agent link.
