Scheduling Automatic Backups and Manually Running a Backup

Scheduling Automatic Backups

1. In the Configuration view, click Cloud Backup > Schedule in the navigation pane.
   The Schedule page is displayed.
   

2. Schedule backups:
   Periodically – Specify the length of time between starting each full backup in either minutes or hours.

   • Start Every – The amount of time, minutes or hours, between each full backup.
     If a given backup extends past the scheduled time for the next automatic backup, the next automatic backup will commence immediately upon completion of the prior backup.

   Specific Time – Specify a fixed time to start the backup each day and either an end time or let the backup run to completion.

   • Start Time – The time to start the full backup.
   • Stop Time – The time to stop the backup, whether it has completed or not, or to stop on completion.
   • On Days – The days to run the full backup.
   Note

   It is recommended to schedule a full backup not more than once every 24 hours and use the transaction log to back up incremental changes.
