Feature request

Be able to chain backups starting time.
Example:

• Backup 1: starts at 1am every day
• Backup 2: starts after Backup 1 every day
• Backup 3: starts after Backup 2 every day

This way we stop to worry about backup times, and can make the best use of time schedules.

Scheduled backups should queue up and run in sequence. Say for instance you schedule backup 2 to start 1 minute after backup 1 starts, and then backup 3 to start 1 minute after backup 2, they should run one after another regardless of how long they take.

Alternatively, you could only schedule backup 1 and configure it to run a post backup script that triggers backup 2 (using https://github.com/Pectojin/duplicati-client). And do the same for backup 2.. a post backup script that triggers backup 3. I think this might be more complex than the first idea though.

Oh, thanks a lot drwtsn32x for the info. Guess this issue can be closed then. The first tip is exactly what I was looking for. Best regards.
