[Preload settings](https://docs.duplicati.com/detailed-descriptions/preload-settings) is another new feature, with a syntax that’s documented (unlike job export). [Example Scripts](https://prev-docs.duplicati.com/en/latest/appendix-g-example-scripts/) shows how you can change things on the fly before backup, if that will help. For example `DUPLICATI__REMOTEURL` can change destination URL based on what script says. I suspect changing schedule will be harder, but it’s in the job export/import if nowhere else… You can certainly run Duplicati with your own maintained scheduler, if that fits your use case. “Export as Command-line” will provide a job’s command line, which you can have scheduled. Command line also supports [parameters-file](https://prev-docs.duplicati.com/en/latest/06-advanced-options/#parameters-file) where you can put options for the scheduler job. Another new paid feature is the Agent. It’s still in progress, but there’s a little bit about it [here](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/osx-x64-cli-pkg-and-osx-x64-agent-pkg-what-is-the-function-of-both/19515/2): > The Agent package is still a bit new, so at this point it is mostly intended for enterprise-style installations where many machines needs to be configured and managed centrally. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/edit-a-backup-job-with-command-line/19603)._
