Schedule

                                                                                                                                                                 

The 'Schedule' option employs the time settings for a backup plan to perform automated backup operation.

For example, if a backup plan is scheduled to run at 20:00 and applied to several machines located in different time zones, the backup will start on each machine at 20:00 local time. 

To schedule backup operation,

  1. Go to 'Backup Plan' and click 'Create Plan'.



  2. Set the below preferences from the 'Schedule' option:
    • Daily Schedule: Select this option to run your backup jobs daily.
    • Weekday(s): Select the days of the week on which you wish to run your backup jobs.
    • Backup start time: Set the time at which your scheduled backup should start.
    • Start backup immediately: Select this option to run a backup job immediately.
    • Cut off time: Set the time at which your scheduled backup should stop.
    • Email notification: Select this option to receive email notifications on the status of the scheduled backup job. Enter the email address on which you want to receive the notifications.
      • Notify always: Select this option to get notifications always.
      • Notify on failure: Select this option to get the notifications only when there are failures.
    • Start the missed scheduled backup when the computer is turned on: Select this option to resume a missed scheduled backup job due to the computer being turned off.
