A Little Scheduling Help

[jwsl224]

Hi all,
i have an extremely simple question that i just. can't. figure. out. i think i have tried about every combination possible, so i just gave up and am asking for someone to take 30 seconds and write it out for me.
simple question: i need a proxmox backup scheduled between 8:00 and 22:00, and i need it to run every 2 hours during that window. can someone type me the syntax for that? appreciate it.

Try this: 8..22:00/2:00

my thoughts exactly. but nope!

8..22/2:00 seems to work here.

I used the simulator from the Proxmox Backup jobs configuration (PVE 8.2.7):

The PVE scheduler will perform the backup tasks, so maybe try it with PVE (instead of the PBS website)?

aaaah. now it makes sense. evidently they work differently. i knew 2:00 was supposed to mean hours. thank you so much.
