Overview
There are two ways to change a backup setting that is not directly
accessible from the UI:
1. A simpler and less error-prone option is to use an override mechanism
as described
https://bvckup2.com/support/forum/topic/1140.
2. Another option is to edit the configuration file directly as described
below. While not dramatically more complicated per se, it requires a
bit more care and diligence.
How to find and edit job's configuration file
⦁ Right-click on the backup entry in program's main window,
select "Open Folder" > "Configuration and Logging"
⦁ Exit the program via Menu > File > Exit, if you are running in
service mode, stop the bvckup2 service
⦁ Open settings.ini in Notepad or any other text editor and
adjust as needed
⦁ Save your changes, exit Notepad, start the program back up.

Any changes made to an INI while the app is running
will be ignored and discarded.
