For most of our clients, we schedule a local and a cloud backup, both file and image, for a total of 4 backups. The primary application we're backing up in an accounting application with multiple users. These users are entering transactions all day long, so we like to try to make multiple backups during the business day.

We're finding it increasingly difficult to "visualize" the actual (or appropriate) times to start each of the backups since each will take a different amount of time, and we'd like to schedule each of them as close as possible to each other. Is anyone aware of a scheduling tool that will help us "optimize" our scheduled backup times? Perhaps a spreadsheet that someone has developed would suffice...? It would be nice if the software included a feature that would warn us similar to: "You've scheduled an image backup at a time that will likely overlap another plan that starts 2 hours earlier." (We seem to have frequent VSS overlaps that cause a backup to fail.)

Thank you -
