Execute task

This action starts another existing AnyFileBackup task at a defined point in the current task. It is available in the Activation, Schedule, Backup, and On Completion steps. The File Filters section below applies only when the action is placed within the Backup step.

Start Task

Condition

The event that triggers this action. When this action is part of the On Completion step, the condition can be set to Always, All previous steps successful, Any previous step produced an error, or No files were processed — see On Completion for details. In all other steps (Activation, Schedule, Backup), the condition is fixed at Always and cannot be changed.

Task name

The name of an existing AnyFileBackup task to start. The current task does not appear in the list.

Wait until completion

When enabled, the current task does not proceed until the selected task has fully finished — that is, its Task Scenario has completed (or stopped due to an error) and the task has returned to a passive state awaiting its next scheduled start.

Use with caution: if the target task transfers a large number of files or large files over a slow connection, this option can significantly delay the current task's performance.

File Filters

These settings are available only when this action is placed within the Backup step. They restrict the action to a specific subset of files being transferred.

Apply action only to

The action applies only to files whose names match the listed filenames or file masks; all other files are ignored. Works together with Disapply action to (below).

Filenames and masks must overlap with any masks set in Source → File Filters → Optional filters → Include the listed files only, and must not be entirely excluded by masks set in Source → File Filters → Optional filters → Exclude the listed files. Otherwise the action will not apply.

Disapply action to

The action does not apply to files whose names match the listed filenames or file masks; it applies normally to all other files. Works together with Apply action only to (above).

Miscellaneous

Display title

A custom name displayed in the Task Scenario instead of the default title.

Enabled

When enabled, this action is active and runs as part of the Task Scenario. When disabled, the action remains in the Task Scenario but is completely ignored. Disabled actions are shown struck out to distinguish them from enabled ones.
