# Task manager
# Job manager
> Coming soon! Currently under active development.
Scheduler is not yet accessible through the UI (4.9), but we the back-end is ready!
> Job manager is released since 4.10
The key idea is to be able to schedule any action (migrate, reboot etc.), like for backups, snapshots or DR.
## Examples
Do you ever wanted to plan a migration of your VMs from a host to another? Let's say every night at 11:00PM, let's do this, then shutdown the big noisy server.
### Save on your electric bill
At 06:00AM, start the big server, and 10 minutes later, migrate the same VM back.
* plan a live migration on your VMs at 11:00PM on a less powerful host, to shutdown the big one
* start the big server at 6:00AM and migrate back VMs 15 minutes later
### Scale when needed
* schedule the boot of extra-VMs during your usual activity spikes (horizontal scaling)
* also plan more vCPUs or RAM to these VMs at the same time
* go back to the previous state when your planned load is low (e.g: during the night)
### Planned reboot
* your client app is not very stable, or you need to reboot every month after kernel updates: schedule this during the weekend!
### Test DR
* thanks to the DR feature of Xen Orchestra, you can also schedule a boot of your DR'ed VMs: this way, your DR plan can be auto-tested!
