If you turn off SD! during a backup, it's basically the same, though you're going to get prompted when you try to shut down.
I recently purchased SD and am getting up to speed.

I suggest remembering the job and having it run the first time it can. I work crazy hours and would like the backups to run overnight. If I leave my computer closed or my work schedule changes, the backup won't run, nor is there an indication it didn't run. Therefore, the backups don't run, and you don't know it. I don't want to have to keep going in and changing the schedule, especially since there's no "run now" button.

At least having the job come up the next time it can, I have the choice of canceling the backup (choosing to be vunerable), instead of the programming canceling/not running job on my behalf with no notification.

Sounds like this might not be trivial with the scheduler. I wonder if there's a way to check the schedule, check the log. If it didn't run, fire it off now.

It's the current behavior in Apple's backup and Retrospect. Very useful feature.
