Resetting Failed Tasks

You have the ability to reset the status of a task that started to execute but for whatever reason failed to complete either with or without errors. The task failure could be due to a service restart or some other system failure. If a task is executed and completes with errors it will automatically be placed into a suspended state.

 

Go to the Scheduling Utility chapter of this guide to learn about how the Restore Task option is used to reset the status of a suspended task. The Restore Task option will only be displayed if the selected task is either running or in a suspended state.
