Exclusive Element
Indicates whether the Task scheduler must start the task during the Automatic maintenance in exclusive mode.
The exclusivity is guaranteed only between other maintenance tasks and doesn't grant any ordering priority of the task. If exclusivity is not specified, the task is started in parallel with other maintenance tasks.
