Hi --
I have a backup job defined and scheduled:
"E:\Sysprog\TeraByte Drive Image Backup and Restore Suite\imagew64.exe" /wait /b /uy /um /d:w1 /f:"J:\MThor\Backup-w1-$~YYYY$-$~MM$-$~DD$-$~HHMM$" /v /vb /comp:2
How can I get the IFW v3.32 to load these parameters into the GUI editor so I can tweak them? When I start IFW GUI, I see that the source drive/partitions is not selected, and I have to guess what I selected last time. Given this, I'm also not sure that the rest of the checkboxes reflect what I actually defined/scheduled previously.
Any suggestions? ... or am I missing the point of the GUI?
Thanks.

Re: How to edit a job?
Thank you.
I can certainly use the Scheduled Tasks tab to see what the command line would be. I also see the schedule and various scheduler settings in other tabs.
But that's not what I'm asking.
I want to use the GUI to tweak this task ... so far, it looks like I would need to see what each of the command line parameters are, then set them in the GUI, and *then* tweak them. This seems unreasonably tedious and pretty error prone.
So, is there a way to bring up a scheduled task in the GUI so I can tweak parameters ... like compression, using VSS, retaining failed backups, etc?
... or do I need to look the options up in the PDF manual and then add them manually to the scheduled command line?
Thanks.

On the IFW Scheduled Tasks tab there is an Edit button.

You can always delete it and create a new one through the wizard.
