Thank you for reporting this issue. This is by design, and it is difficult to navigate to the backup process page. We will improve this in future updates.

Well it doesn't make sense ... Since the tray is only shown when a task is active when you double click it it should go to the current active task window.

It would be great if Backup Suite had the ability to manually run a scheduled backup.  I know you can click the "Backup" button or use the Actions --> Backup menu item to start a backup, but this always starts a specific type of backup (Full, Incremental, etc.).  The ability to to run a scheduled backup on demand would allow whatever backup is next based on the schedule to run (along with it's associated cleanup rules).

Thanks,
Rich

Please note that the image retention policy of HBS applies to both manually and automatically executed backups. If manual execution of backup schedules is allowed and the next schedule has been executed manually, should that schedule still be executed when its originally scheduled time arrives?

I think that the next scheduled backup should run when the time arises.  By running it manually, it's not skipping the next scheduled backup, just running it an additional earlier time.
