Tasks List:

With Titan Backup you can easily view the entire list of tasks and summary information for each backup or Sync Task in the Tasks List:

The Backup Tasks list has 3 columns:

• Name - displays the name of the task with a suggestive icon next to it. The icon makes it easy to identify the task type, backup or synchronize, the destination/second location of the task: local folder, LAN folder, CD/DVD, removable device or FTP.
• Last Run Time - displays the last time when the task has run under the following format: dd/mm/yyyy - hh:mm:ss pm/am. If this column is free for a certain task means that the task has never run.
• Next Run Time - if the task is scheduled to run at a specific time/date in this column there will be displayed the time/date when the task should run next.
• Progress/Status - while the task runs, in this column, Titan Backup will show the progress and the status of the backup or synchronize operation.

Above this list there is a toolbar with quick launch buttons for all operations you can do on a task:
