Description

It would be grate to have a button in gui to postpone/ommit sheduled jobs till next occurrence.

If a date was missed, the job will run as soon as possible.

It's ok when you are always connected to backup destination, but when there is no external drive or network you get several notiffications - after each job fails.

Moreover when you want to make another non-schedulded job you have to wait for all that missed jobs to fail, or you have to clik stop->stop now (waiting for finishing job, and to start another one!) and so on.

Research direction
Investigate the Duplicati GUI code to understand how scheduled jobs are displayed and managed. Look into the scheduling engine to identify where job postponement can be implemented. Check existing issues or discussions for any prior work on this feature. The scheduling related code is likely in the backend, while the GUI buttons are in the frontend (likely using a .NET UI framework).
