It would be great if we could have the abiity to edit/change the backup time on both databsae and file backup jobs. Once you create a job, there is no way to edit the schedule.

Do you mean the interval? Because you can edit that actually.

[@Dennis](/user/Dennis) - there is a ticket for this.

**Merged Change backup start time after creation into this item** \n\n Created by: Stan \n\n Currently, backups can only be scheduled when they are being created, and this schedule cannot be changed afterward. This results in multiple backups running simultaneously, which can overload large servers and lead to performance issues. Adding the ability to modify the backup schedule after creation would allow backup times to be distributed throughout the day, improving system performance and load management.
